trouble installing on Ubuntu

[sre...@asu.edu]

Hi Vaclav and group - I am trying to install xmlwrapp (running Ubuntu 14.04) to facilitate running the xslt package in R but am having some trouble with the installation. Would you mind commenting on the possible problem and fix to the issue listed below? Thanks, Steve

This is not how it works, you need to run "./configure" first, then
"make", then "make install". If you want to combine them on one line, you
need to use "&&" between them, please consult your shell documentation for
more information.

Thank you, Vadim, very much appreciated.
That got me further, but does make require any arguments as it does not seem to recognize a makefile (e.g., below)?

>make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

If configure ran successfully, it must have created a makefile. If it
didn't, there must have been an error, please check its output carefully.
But this is really not something related to xmlwrapp per se and so not
necessarily appropriate to this list.
