Dear Austen,

Please specifiy a different directory for --prefix option (or leave it unspecified). You can not install the files into the same directory as the one where the source files are located in.

I'm having trouble with make install for ALPS-1.3b3. I'm running OS X 10.4.8 on a PowerPC Powerbook.

ALPS is in HOME/alps-1.3b3. Boost (version 1.33.1) is in HOME/ alps-1.3b3/boost. I run

./configure --prefix=$HOME/alps-1.3b3 make

successfully, but make install exits with

test -z "/Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml" || /bin/sh ../../config/ mkinstalldirs "/Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml" /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'archive2plot.xsl' '/Users/austen/ alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/archive2plot.xsl' install: archive2plot.xsl and /Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/ archive2plot.xsl are the same file /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'helpers.xsl' '/Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/ lib/xml/helpers.xsl' install: helpers.xsl and /Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/helpers.xsl are the same file /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'plot2gp.xsl' '/Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/ lib/xml/plot2gp.xsl' install: plot2gp.xsl and /Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/plot2gp.xsl are the same file /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'plot2html.xsl' '/Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/ lib/xml/plot2html.xsl' install: plot2html.xsl and /Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/ plot2html.xsl are the same file /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'plot2text.xsl' '/Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/ lib/xml/plot2text.xsl' install: plot2text.xsl and /Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/ plot2text.xsl are the same file /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'plot2xmgr.xsl' '/Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/ lib/xml/plot2xmgr.xsl' install: plot2xmgr.xsl and /Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/ plot2xmgr.xsl are the same file /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'QMCXML2text.xsl' '/Users/austen/ alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/QMCXML2text.xsl' install: QMCXML2text.xsl and /Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/ QMCXML2text.xsl are the same file /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'ALPS.xsl' '/Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/ xml/ALPS.xsl' install: ALPS.xsl and /Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/ALPS.xsl are the same file /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'job.xsl' '/Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/ xml/job.xsl' install: job.xsl and /Users/austen/alps-1.3b3/lib/xml/job.xsl are the same file make[3]: *** [install-dist_pkgdataDATA] Error 64 make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

Any ideas?
