The uncompressing, configure and make were successful, but make check failed as shown below. I managed to work out that this was because there was a space in the folder name that the .lz file was in before I uncompressed it.
Thank you very much for reporting this. As you guessed, this is caused by unquoted file names. I have already fixed it. The fix will be included in the next version of ddrescue.
install: /usr/local/bin/ddrescue: Permission denied I managed to overcome this by putting "sudo" before the "make install" command to allow it to overrride the permissions. Is this the right thing to do?
Yes. I don't know Mac OS X first-hand, but root privileges are usually required to write into /usr.
Best regards, Antonio.
