Installation problems - please help!

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

I have been trying to install GMT on my Mac OSX 10.4 for some time now but
keep encountering problems and wondered whether anyone could help?

I have installed xdeveloper tools from the OSX installation disk
(successfully as far as I am aware) and believe I have logged in as 'root'
suggested by forum discussions on the following problem (by typing 'sudo
passwd root' into terminal and entering my adminpassword and then a new root
password), yet at the same point at the installation process i get the
following message:

Making check in man
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `check'.
Making check in win32
Making check in NET
Making check in examples
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `check'.
Making check in libsrc

make[3]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

Can anyone help? I am a beginner to this sort of thing so any basic guidance
/ solution would be really appreciated, especially as i have some work
needed to be done urgently in GMT!! Thank you.

No need to login as root, you can try to get GMT compiled by typing:

sudo make all

Also, I'd make sure to clean up your GMT install dir beforehand ("sudo  
make spotless" or simply "make spotless").

Hi Christian,

I have tried what you suggested, but I am not sure I am doing it right! I get the message below when i type your suggested commands into x11/terminal:

'make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.'

Where do I type 'sudo make all' if I am doing it wrong? If so, is anything required before or after like a link to my gmt install/parameter files? I'm sorry, my computer code knowledge is very basic and I don't know how to use sudo commands...

Thank you,

Emma

You need to cd into the GMT4.5.1 dir before you run make.

I'm not sure if this applies to you Maya, but GMT *finally* installed for me when i installed it through Fink.
