[Coin-discuss] Too many levels of symbolic links

[ye jianyu]

Dear COIN developers,

I can not successfully compile COIN because of a "Too
many levels of symbolic links". The problem is:
src/misc/SoOutput.lo linked to itself.
I read the Makefile of COIN and src/misc/ , but can't
find any hint to solve this problem. Anyone had the
same experience pls give me your help.

I download the COIN by wincvs and copied to LINUX
using dos2unix to solve EOL problem. Because my Linux
computer can not connect to INTERNET.
Is there any website that I can download zipped COIN ?
Thanks in advanced for your kindly help.

Attached below is the results of make command:
