no, unfortunately it doesn't work.

Then try installing like this:

make install prefix=/opt/amule

That will install aMule on the /opt/amule tree (/opt/amule/bin, /opt/amule/lib, etc). If this works fine, then you can move every file from this folder to the folder you want it to be (example: mv /opt/amule/bin/* /usr/local/bin/)

Ok it works, but install produce a huge output, I had to attach because exceeds the maximum lenght of a message.

I can't understand if it is ok

[skolnick]

The log seems fine. One clue: When there is an error, it's usually shown in the last lines of the log (it applies to compilation, as well as configure and installation). If everything finishes, and there is not the "error" word in the last lines of the log, then most probably everything went fine.

Just for a try: become root (su -) and then execute make install. It could work differently from sudo and maybe it will work.

In Ubuntu there's no "root" user, so "su -" will not work. You can "sudo tcsh" to start shell with root privileges

@ skolnick.
Thanks a lot for your patience, I'm learning a lot of things. For the future I'll try to don't bother you all again.

@ lfroen.
On Ubuntu the user root exist, what you never know is the password, but if you change the root password with

Code: [Select]

sudo passwd rootthen you can use the su command

In Ubuntu there's no "root" user, so "su -" will not work. You can "sudo tcsh" to start shell with root privileges

Maybe because of this the permissions in the /usr/local tree are strange and that's why the "make install" fails to recreate the existant folder? in other UNIXes the root user has full read/write permission to folders and files, maybe ubuntu assigns that same permission to other user. I don't know, just a theory.

As I said in my last post, on my system the su command is fully functional and the root user as well:

Code: [Select]

luca@luca:~$ su -
Password:
root@luca:~# exit
logout
luca@luca:~$
