[Lmod-users] Problem building Lmod

[Jeff L. <lay...@at...>]

Afternoon everyone!

I decided to try building Lmod so I could understand the
process before deciding whether to install it in /opt or
/usr/local/. I chose to start by installing it into /opt just
for grins.

I grabbed Robert's lua-5.1.4.5 package and built it and
installed it in /opt/apps/lua/5.1.4.5 and everything seemed
to go find (I didn't try 'make test'). I symlinked lua to
/usr/local/bin and I made sure it was in the my path. I
tested this by just running the command 'lua' and the
interpreter came up.

I think decided to build Lmod (1.4.1) and set PREFIX to
/opt/apps. The configure process seemed to go fine:

[root@test1 Lmod-4.1.4]# ./conf.jeff
MODULEPATH_ROOT=/opt/apps/modulefiles
ANCIENT=86400
SHORT_TIME=2
SPIDER_CACHE_DIR=
PREPEND_BLOCK=no
checking for sha1sum... /usr/bin/sha1sum
checking for more... /bin/more
checking for lua... /usr/local/bin/lua
Checking for lua modules: posix lfs... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating makefile



Then I tried a simple "make install" and got an error:


cd pkgs; \
make LUA_INC=/usr/local/include LUA_LIB=/usr/local/lib 
LIB=/opt/apps/lmod/4.1.4/lib \
SHARE=/opt/apps/lmod/4.1.4/libexec install

I'm not sure what I've done to mess this up but any help is
greatly appreciated (I'm guessing it's looking for lua in
/usr/local rather than /opt/apps/lua/5.1.4.5).

Thanks!
