[Pnet-developers] Trouble with install on Mac OS X

[Jason King]

Hi everybody (Hi Dr. Nick!).

Forgive me for bothering you, I am pretty much a Linux / Unix / MacOSX
newbie.  I have tried the install as detailed on the Southern Software site
on both Linux and MacOSX Darwin (I also swapped to bash), and have differing
problems for each.  I am not really bothered about the Linux problems as I
was only trying it out on Linux to see if it worked fine and thus my problem
would be with the Mac.  Unfortunately, both set ups seem to fail.  I have
inlcuded the configure.log from the Mac ./configure of pnet, it does show an
error somewhere.  Treecc install seemed to work ok, I check the directory
that Rhys mentioned (/usr/local/bin/treecc) and fair enough, treecc is
there.  However, both madcow and pnet set up report that it is not
installed.

By the way, I can't figure out anything about environment variables, so for
example, if you tell me to set an environment variable, I do not know how to
do it, similarly, configuring pnet is beyond my knowledge at this point.  I
am sorry about needing so much hand holding.  Incidentally, I am logged in
as root for all attempts, so should have all the relevant permisions set.

So, to summarise:
Mac - 
        Logged in as root
        Unpacked the treecc tar balls
        Move to relevant folder
        Treecc "./configure" seems ok
        Treecc "make all" seems good
        Treecc "make check" reports: Pass run_tests and All 1 tests passed
        Treecc "make install" seems good, treecc is found in directory
/usr/local/bin/
        Unpack pnet tar balls
        pnet "./configure" does its thing and terminates after reporting
that it cannot find treecc (config log attached)

SuSE8.2 Linux
        Logged in as root
        Unpacked the treecc tar balls
        Move to relevant folder
        Treecc "./configure" seems ok
        Treecc "make all" - ***No rule to amke target 'all'. Stop.
        Unpack pnet tar balls
        I expect the next bit to fail as treecc is not installed:
        pnet "./configure" does its thing and terminates after reporting
that it cannot find treecc (config log attached)


I have my doubts about the Mac config log - 2/3rds of the way down is a
syntax error.

Any help you guys can give me would be much appreciated.  Rhys, if you are
reading this, sorry for subjecting you to it again.  Error logs below.
