Installation error

[Oli]

Hi

I keep getting this when attempting to install gnumap (at the 'make'
stage):

Olis-Macbook:gnumap oliver$ make;
if [ ! -d lib/gsl-1.14/ ]; then \
tar -xzf lib/gsl-1.14.tar.gz -C lib/; \
fi
cd lib/gsl-1.14/ && \
if [ ! -e Makefile ]; then \
echo "Couldn't find lib/gsl-1.14/Makefile"; \
./configure --prefix=/Users/oliver/Egyptology/PhD/Barley/Illumina
Data/gnumap/lib/; \
fi && \
make && make install \

Couldn't find lib/gsl-1.14/Makefile

...and the program doesn't install. Any thoughts would be greatly
appreciated!

It's a problem with my script that works in most cases but not in yours. There's an easy solution. In the Makefile, I try and compile a required library, and I'm assuming the current path doesn't have spaces in it. Yours does, but this can be solved by surrounding the path with quotation marks. I'll include the updated Makefile for you to use and include this with the next update.

Replace the Makefile in your current version with this Makefile, then type "make" and it should work.
