Installation Issue

[William Mann]

Some knowledge of linux so I am not a complete noob, and I have installed everything up until I get to the point of

tar zxvf piler-x.y.z.tar.gz cd piler-x.y.z ./configure \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-database=mysql \ --enable-tcpwrappers

make su -c 'make install' ldconfig

The configure section works fine, but when I type make i get an error that make: *** no targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I am running 1.3.4 and this is a brand new build on ubuntu.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

"make su -c 'make install' ldconfig" looks odd to me. Try

make clean all

[William Mann]

If I try just "make clean all" I get make: *** No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop

If I try make su -c with anything after it I get make: invalid option -- 'c'

My best bet is that you don't have a Makefile created by configure. So run the configure command you provided above, and show me its output. Make sure you use the formatting options of bitbucket.

The last line gives you the clue: you don't have install libwrap (or whatever your distro calls it) neither its development packages. That's why the configure script aborted and not provided the Makefile.
