Hi, I'm trying to install deal.II to a system directory by using the --prefix option to the configure script. Namely:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/deal.ii/7.0.0 (The use of 'Cellar' is because I'm on Mac OS X and am trying to use homebrew to manage the installation. Though the below error occurs even if I run configure directly with a prefix set.) The configure script seems to work okay, but when I go to 'make all', I get: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/local/Cellar/deal.ii/7.0.0/common/Make.global_options', needed by `make_dependencies'. Stop. In other words, the generated Makefile seems to be trying to use the installation prefix to find files that are actually located in the source hierarchy. I guess by default this doesn't break because the default prefix is set to the current working directory. I get the same error if I try to set a prefix under Linux. Thanks for any help, Braden _______________________________________________ dealii mailing list http://poisson.dealii.org/mailman/listinfo/dealii
