Error during installation: "/bin/sh: 4: hd_install: not found"

[aleksandar.rachkov]

Hi,

I am installing this software called HEASoft I need to analyze data with. And I thought that it'd be a great idea to build the source code distribution, instead of using the pre-compiled binary distribution. I am following the instruction given from the website: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/lheasoft/install.html. And everything went fine until I did "make install" and in "install.log", I get the following error:


make install
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/alex/Documents/heasoft-6.14/heacore/BUILD_DIR'
make hd-std-install

make: *** [install] Error 2

With my limited understanding, I think it says there is no hd_install file. But when I go in BUILD_DIR, there is indeed a "hd_install.c" file.
I looked up for similar problems, and some people were saying that maybe bin/sh is corrupted, but I don't see how that would be possible.

If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it greatly!

Thanks in advance.

There should be an executable hd_install file that was compiled from the hd_install.c file during the 'make' phase - did you run a separate 'make' before the 'make install'? if so were there any errors?

Thank you.
Yes, there was another make before that. It had the following error:

Did you install the X11 prerequisite(s) as indicated in the HEASOFT-INSTALL.TXT instructions? i.e.


sudo apt-get install xorg-dev

Did you pass any parameters on the configure commandline? or just plain ./configure ?

[aleksandar.rachkov]

OH wow, thank you so much!
I thought that when they wanted X11, all they need was libx11-dev, which I alread had.

Thank you so much!
