When you said you fixed the modules/RELEASE.linux-x86_64.local file I think that’s where you went wrong, that is not a regular configure/RELEASE file. It actually gets created by the build and provides the install location of the top-level motor-7-1 tree for building the individual submodules.

I suggest you delete that file, then cd into the modules directory and type ‘make RELEASE.host’ which will recreate it with what should be the correct content (it should ONLY set one variable, probably MOTOR, pointing to the INSTALL_LOCATION for the motor-7-1 build). If you disagree with its contents, please post both versions here and explain why. When the file is correct you should be able to run ‘make’ from the modules directory to build all of the submodules.

HTH,
