Can't `make install`

Post by Oki »

Hi,
I downloaded the 1.9.4 version and used "./configure --prefix=/home/celso/bygfoot".

I made configure and make fine, but when i tried to execute `make install` the program stop after this message:

"(...) support_files/mmedia/pics/match9.jpg support_files/mmedia/pics/soccerbabes.jpg; do /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 $file /home/celso/bygfoot-1.9.4//share/bygfoot/$file; done"

I tried other times, but i can't identify what's wrong. :-(

i don't see an error message. i think you copy-pasted the wrong lines. you could also try to use the binary version, so you don't have to compile, just unpack.

gyözo,
I tried one more time, but the program stop at this point and not finish the installation processo. :-/

Are there any additional parameter for use with --prefix?

Please check for the very obvious: Did you remember to 'make install' as root so you have permission to the directories you'll install to, and have you put the directory where the binaries in your distro live (or something that happens to be in your shell's PATH) as your '--prefix=<whatever>'? There's a chance you installed it perfectly, because you didn't quote an error message.

Hope that was helpful.
