#12 Installation errors on Centos 7.2.1511

[Fabian Santiago]

setup.sh scripts calls for the use of group uucp. said group did not exist and script failed the rest of the way.

manually creating missing group allowed setup script to complete successfully.

logged in as mbse user.

ran ./configure ok.

run make produces an error:
"
MBSE_ROOT is not set!

make: *** [all] Error 3
"

any ideas? Thanks.

Well, is that environment variable being set when you log in as that user? (Perhaps set in ~./bashrc if you're using bash...) When logged in as that user, what comes up (if anything) when you type
echo $MBSE_ROOT at the command line?

[Fabian Santiago]

There's no value as you suspected. Should it be set to mbse?

[Fabian Santiago]

so i figure it should be set to /opt/mbse. i believe i have set this but it still complains w/ same error on make.

[Fabian Santiago]

i also tried a check script i found on sourceforge and it reports:

MBSE_ROOT environment is not set or you are not 'mbse'

i am logged iin as mbse (su'd from root prompt). is that not appropriate?

[Fabian Santiago]

ok so i've set my variable and was able to make.

but now on make install, i get either you're not logged in as user mbse if run as root or must be root to install otherwise. ????

[Fabian Santiago]

ok i got it. i was taking shotcuts instead of simply reading your install file. thanks.
