Re: [Quantlib-users] Installation of QL in custom folder

[Luigi B. <lui...@gm...>]

Hi,

> zsh: no such file or directory:
--prefix=/Users/DDD/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/QL_INSTALL

the above seems to mean that the '--prefix=' was considered a part of the
directory name instead of an option.

and the above suggests something strange is going on in your system.  Just
to check if the --prefix thing is the problem, may you remove it and see if
configure works?
