#7 Build error under Linux

[Anonymous]

There are two errors when building PNL beta 2.0 under
Linux:
1.) make creates the same directories over and over
again, for approximately 20 iterations.
2.) configure.gcc ignores the --prefix option.
Installing in other places than /usr/local/ is
impossible. Thus, installing without root priviledges
is impossible. (In the unix world it's quite common
that users are not logged in as administrators or even
don't have the priviledges to do so.)

Which directories are being created over and over?

Second, if you do not have permission to write to a directory
you will not be able to install an application in that directory.
Are you sure you have permission to the directory you are
trying to install to?

Here is the new version of configure.gcc file I suggest :

#!/bin/bash
tar xjf conf.gcc.tbz 2>/dev/null
rm -f libtool
sh ./configure $@
echo "run 'make' to compile sources"

And also configure.icc :

#!/bin/bash
tar xjf conf.icc.tbz 2>/dev/null
rm -f libtool
CC=icc
CXX=icpc
export CC CXX
sh ./configure $@
sed 's/predep_objects="\/.*$/predep_objects=""/' libtool
>libtool.ed
mv -f libtool.ed libtool
echo "run 'make' to compile sources"

I add $@ that gives arguments passed to configure.(i|g)cc to
configure.

This way the argument --prefix=your_favorite_install_dir
could be passed to configure. Before, pnl was always
install the default way.
