Problems after 'make install' command in Ubuntu

Sparsh · September 16, 2015, 08:33

Hello,

I'm trying to install SU2 cardinal in Ubuntu 15.04. The first two commands, ./configure and /make are going well but the /make install command is kind of getting aborted. It is saying permission denied and failed Error-1.
A snapshot is attached here within.
What could the reason and how can I rectify?
Already added lines in /bashrc file.

hey there @Sparsh, i have written a simply script to automate SU2 installation in ubuntu. https://vijaikumar.in/how-to-install...su2-in-ubuntu/
You can find it in the page mentioned above. Maybe you will find it useful. It automatically compiles SU2 with cgns and mpi support in Ubuntu

Hi Sparsh

When you make install, you require root access to install the files to /usr/local/bin. Try /sudo make install
and then when prompted enter you password to install the files to the root directory.

Or you could install to a local directory where you have permission by configuring using ./configure --prefix=/somewhere/else/than/usr/local

and then make install

Hope this helps
