[Openswan Users] Issues installing and uninstalling 2.6.28

[Nick Howitt]

  Hi,
For the last few releases I've been rolling my own rpm based on an old 
src file I bumped into without knowing exactly what I'm doing, so this 
time I decided to go back to the old make programs/make install method 
and I've run into a couple of issues.

My distro is ClearOS 5.2 (based on Centos 5.5) and instead of using the 
usual /usr/local for its files it uses /usr. This never made any 
difference to the compile in the past, but this time when I did it, the 
compile worked and I could start ipsec (with service ipsec start), but 
none of the ipsec commands (ipsec auto etc) worked because there was no 
path to the program. This used to work.

Rather than modify the path, I decided to uninstall and use the old 
instructions sticking with the ClearOS standard file locations (change 
“INC_USRLOCAL=/usr/local” to “INC_USRLOCAL=/usr” in Makefile.inc). This 
time, before changing Makefile.inc, "make uninstall" failed with:

make uninstall
make --no-print-directory install_file_list | egrep -v 
'(/ipsec.conf$|/ipsec.d/)' | xargs rm -f
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `install_file_list'. Stop.
make[3]: *** [install_file_list] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install_file_list] Error 1
make[1]: *** [install_file_list] Error 1

Again I'm sure this worked in the past.

Making the mod to Makefile.inc worked as expected and all the ipsec 
commands worked as the correct path was there.

To sum up:
1 - Installing no longer appears to set the correct PATH
2 - "make uninstall" fails

Regards,

Nick
