***JAM***
  CEL and Planeshift are using jam for building. Unfortunately the
    current version (2.4) still contains some bugs which are reported and
   should be fixed in jam 2.5. For now just grab the psjam release:
        http://planeshift.sourceforge.net/psjam-2.5rc1.tar.gz

    and compile and install it:
     tar -xzvf psjam-2.5rc1.tar.gz
       cd psjam-2.5rc1
     make
        su             # then type your root password
       jam install
     exit


here you go.

hmm with this step Jam don\'t work,..
after make I run jam install but command not found..
then I go to bin.linuxx86 dir and run jam install
but he sayd can\'t find Jamfile
Ok then I copy all files from bin.linuxx86 dir to jam install dir
and then I  do
jam install
... now all is OK :-)
root@user136mo jam-2.5]# ./jam install
...found 201 target(s)...
...updating 1 target(s)...
Install /usr/local/bin/jam
Chmod1 /usr/local/bin/jam
...updated 1 target(s)...

now when I type jam I get this :

[root@user136mo /]# jam
Jamfile: No such file or directory
...found 7 target(s)...

its ok ? I think yes,...
thx for helping my (with string jam install.. because I try combine only jam jamfile ..etc )


edit : This is my clear way to install jam : (maybe some ppl need use this way too .. add this to linux howto ? )

tar -xzvf psjam-2.5rc1.tar.gz
cd psjam-2.5rc1
make
su # then type your root password
// (NOW THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO DO)
cd bin.linuxx86
cp * ..
cd ...

// AND THEN :

./jam install
exit


(simply I have jam exec in psjam-2.5rc1/bin.linuxx86/ dir
but jamfile in psjam-2.5rc1/  only..  )

That is wierd. I use the method i posted above (which i found in the compiling.txt file that can be found in ../planeshift/docs folder) every thing worked fine. I have Mandrake Linux 9.0

I recently tryied to get library\'s and proper things installed to get PS up and running and ran into pretty much the same situation. When building the program it kept telling me jam was not found. I tryied as rodier to make it and had the same results.

This thread has been quiet for some time but I thought I\'d mention that what rodier mentions worked for me as well. Just thought I\'d mention it for what value it may be.
