Re: GNU Parallel Bug Reports Instillation problems

What error did you get?

If you are installing into a system directory, you probably need to be root to run "make install".

Subject: GNU Parallel Bug Reports Instillation problems

Dear address@hidden,

I am currently trying to install GNU Parallel. I tried installing the newest version with:

  (wget -O - pi.dk/3 || curl pi.dk/3/) | bash

(from http://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_tutorial.html). Then I tried:

(wget -O - pi.dk/3 || curl pi.dk/3/ || fetch -o - http://pi.dk/3) | bash

and

wget http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/parallel/parallel-20140622.tar.bz2
    bzip2 -dc parallel-20140622.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
    cd parallel-20140622
    ./configure && make && make install

and

wget http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/parallel/parallel-20140622.tar.bz2
    bzip2 -dc parallel-20140622.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
    cd parallel-20140622
    ./configure --prefix=$HOME && make && make install

and

wget http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/plain/src/parallel
    chmod 755 parallel
    cp parallel sem
    mv parallel sem dir-in-your-$PATH/bin/

(as directed by http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/tree/README) all to no avail.

Please let me know what I can do to get GNU Parallel installed. I am currently using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Best,
Dominic Pasquali
