On your screen...

Try this to capture it into a file (for [t]csh):

  $> makeall install >& log.txt

If you still want to see what happens, either use "tail -f" on
that file, or split the stream with "tee":

  $> makeall install |& tee log.txt

The "&" in both cases makes sure that both stdout and
stderr go to the file. As far as I know, there is no easy
way to have the csh redirect *only* stderr, which contains
the messages you're interested in.

Does your $RAYPATH still point to an old version of the library?

I'm not sure about the binary packages, but when you want to
compile yourself, then you also need a second "support" package,
which carries some stuff not in CVS, such as the tifflib and
possibly parts of the library.
