I have been pulling my hair out all night over this.
So i need to install a package called SWIG on my fedora 12 box. Unfortunatly for me I need a specific version of that package: 1.3.38 or lower and the only version availible in the fedora repositories is 1.3.40 meaning I have to compile the older version from source.
So I download the source tarball for 1.3.38 and unpack it. Then, as I know next to nothing about compiling from source I open the INSTALL file and follow the step by step instructions, namely:
Step 1: cd to the directory of the unpacked tarball -- DONE
Step 2: run "./configure" -- DONE
Step 3: run "make" -- FAIL
When I run the make command I get the following output:
Here is the area around the offending line in the makefile, I see nothing that looks untoward but then again I know precisely jack about makefiles:
Is there something obviously wrong with the above makefile?
Is there something deeper wrong with how my system is set up?
Am I just a moron who missed something really obvious?
Please enlighten me if you are able, also let me know if you need any more information to help you solve the problem, I will gladly provide it.
