nGhost 2.0.2 on Ubuntu 9.0.4 - 'make' issue

**ThePistonDoctor** · 05-14-2009, 06:04 PM

Ok, as the title states I am installing nGhost on Ubuntu 9.0.4 and am having some issues. After running through the library install (libnghost) and installing all dependencies and packages I finally got it to configure, make and install. Then I went on to nGhost itself, it configured fine, but when I run make I get the following error:

Code:

root@Heaven:/home/god/nGhost_Stuff/nghost2-2.0.2# sudo make

I have tried everything I can think of but this is too generic of an error to find on Google. I received the same message when I ran make on the libraries, but I found that it was because I wasn't root and upon sudo'ing the command it worked fine. As you can see in this situation I am already root, so I'm lost. I really wanted to get this fixed before I left today but I guess it will have to wait until Monday.

Anyway, any ideas?

Oh yeah, the good news is this was posted from my carputer, so at least I am getting SOMEWHERE!

Download nghost from svn. The svn code has been updated to compile against the newer GCC versions (plus you get more cool features).

Hey Kev - Thanks for the response - I did that...still the same problem. Could you post the code to DL it in case I got it wrong?

**ThePistonDoctor** · 05-16-2009, 12:15 PM

Anyone else got advice on this? I'm not sure what I need to do...I thought I did what Kev has suggested.

I'm having the exact same problem. I'm very new to Linux in general and so I have no clue what to do. Hoping someone can help shed some light on this.

Do the following:

Code:

sudo apt-get install subversion

svn checkout https://nghost.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nghost/libnghost libnghost
svn checkout https://nghost.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nghost/nghost2 nghost2

cd libnghost

./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

cd ..
cd nghost2/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

I have downloaded and run the install from subversion but there are a couple things in the code I did differently. I will try that on Monday. If I run these commands over the current install, will they overwrite any issues or do I need to somehow uninstall the current stuff I've done?

Thanks a ton!

yeah, uninstalling any existing is a good idea. It may not matter though if you install to the same dir... the new stuff should overwrite the old stuff.
