That needs to be 2>, i.e. no space between the 2 and the > (at least
in the sh I have here under Solaris, can't check bash on Linux right now).
Further on, it only works in sh/bash/ksh. In csh/tcsh, you'd have to use this:
make blah-blah >& error.log
The big disadvantage in csh/tcsh is that you can only redirect standard out
*and* standard error into a file, but not standard error on itself. This is
considered one of the reasons why one should use sh instead of csh for shell
scripting...
HTH,
