[rsf-devel] ./configure command not functioning properly with reinstalling Madagsascar

[Luke Decker]

I am attempting to update my Madagascar installation on both my MacOS laptop and Linux Workstation, and oddly am running into the same error when I attempt to execute ./configure —prefix=$RSFROOT :

Here is the Linux output:

[luke@osiris RSFSRC]$ ./configure --prefix=$RSFROOT

And here is the MacOS output:

The error seems to be caused by “commands” no longer being defined.  Any advice on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
