Re: Installing EPICS... error

["Johnson, Andrew N." <anj@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Chris

This has to be something like a disk problem, maybe file permissions (umask setting?) or disk space possibly? Perl is running Ok, that error is from inside the Perl code.

Hope this helps,

Hello all EPICS people,

I've been attempting to install EPICS to my computer running Linux Mint, I am using an link:

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2009/msg01867.php

Well I get to the 2nd instruction, namely "install base" and it says the following when I make:

make -C ./configure install 

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/chris/Documents/EPICS/base-3.15.1/configure'

perl -CSD ../src/tools/makeMakefile.pl O.linux-x86 ../..

Cannot create O.linux-x86/Makefile at ../src/tools/makeMakefile.pl line 41.

make[1]: *** [O.linux-x86] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/chris/Documents/EPICS/base-3.15.1/configure'

make: *** [configure.install] Error 2

This says that the perl command is not working for some reason, however I know I installed perl.  Does anyone know why this is giving me an error or have you run into this issue yourself?  Please help,

Thank you,

Chris
