Dear Nicolas and Trevor,
thanks for your responses. I have realized that it is really the case with
the NFS server. However what I find interesting is that this warning shows
up by one file only, and that "Your build may be incomplete"-warning may
be true, since I have tried to 'make check' and received two specific
errors. Then I tried to build everything from the scratch again, used the
touch command form supposed by Trevor and made check once again. This, I
am afraid, does
not work. The error message is
Makefile.am: required file `./depcomp' not found
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
which occurs just after
cd . && aclocal
cd . && automake --gnu --include-deps Makefile
What should I be doing now? Should I 'make something', so that I build the
depcomp file or make check once again?
I would really like to compile GSL on this machine and not on the NFS
server for a couple of reasons.
Hopefully you help me once again.
Sincerely,
Marek Kobera
