Summary:                    Please reopen bug 0000283 - Compile error - no rule to make install.  Installation aborted.
Description: 
This error is becoming increasingly frequent, and ranges from minor
irritation to disabling the system.  It is also the probable cause of bug
0000284 - Configure error, c (cc) compiler unable to create executeables. 
That ocurred again tonight and was traced to glibc having failed compile
due to
no rule to make install.  Since the prior copy of glibc was
already uninstalled, everything after that also failed.
When this happens to addons, it's only an irritation of trying to re-lin
the module, and it usually works.  When it happens to essential system
packages, such as coreutils and glibc, it requires un-tarring prior saved
compiles if they exist, or restoring the whole installation from backups
if they exist.  The kernel code, includes, and links have so
far not been affected by these failures.  Manually doing a make install is
not an option if there is no rule to make install and/or glibc is gone.
