Hi all,
I'm trying and failing to install GRASS 5.0.3 from source code. I suspect
I'm doing something truly dumb but I'm not sure what and I'd appreciate your
guidance.
As suggested in the installation instructions, I've created a directory (as
root) /opt/src/grass5sources and unpacked grass-5.0.3_src.tar.gz. Changing
to the directory grass5.0.3, I then run ./configure, which appears to run OK
(the only error is it cannot locate TIFF includes. This is an optional
module so I figured it should be OK).
Now comes the problem - when I run make I get the response:
bash: make#: command not found
which is understandable because there isn't a Makefile in my grass5.0.3
directory. There is a Makefile.in though, and when I run that (make -f
Makefile.in), it only runs briefly before failing thus:
@SRCDIR@/src/CMD/generic/is64bit.sh:
@SRCDIR@/src/CMD/generic/is64bit.sh: No such file or directory
What am I doing wrong? Any guidance gratefully received,
Robert Holmes

Try
./configure --with-tiff=no
You do not have a Makefile because configure failed at the tiff option. If configure succeeds, it will list the various options and create a Makefile. Makefile.in is the initialization, or seed, file for configure and is not meant to be built.

You do not have a Makefile because configure failed at the
tiff option.
If configure succeeds, it will list the various options and create a
Makefile. Makefile.in is the initialization, or seed, file
for configure
and is not meant to be built.
