Hi Olly,

there's not a lot of information to go on here. Could you send me (not the
list) copies of "make.log", "make.log.err" and "config.log" from the
thirdparty/eso/skycat directory?

Also where did you get this source code from? The git repository at JAC I
hope.

Thanks,

Peter.

(BTW, I believe people have had success building under SuSE, not sure if
that's version 11)
