[Jean-Claude Passy]

Dear all,

I got the following error when trying to install mercurial 1.5.1:

############################################################################

/usr/bin/python

[21:42:05] seawolf1:$ python -V

Python 2.4.3

[21:42:15] seawolf1:$ make install PREFIX=/global/home/jcpassy/hg > out.txt

/bin/sh: line 0: .: -C: invalid option

.: usage: . filename [arguments]

make: *** [doc] Error 2

I am not admin of the system.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Best,
