Hi Xavi,

Could you explain what you mean by 'compile correctly'?

To take a guess: The error that is commonly popping up for users is the ignored 
error, which leaves an alarming "make[2]: [all] Error 1 (ignored)" at the end 
of the build output. This happens when a user sets CHPL_DEVELOPER, and does not 
have ctags installed. The error is ignored, because Chapel builds just fine 
without ctags.

At one point, we considered piping the stderr for the ctags command to 
/dev/null, rather than treating it as an ignored error in the Makefile, so that 
users who boldly set CHPL_DEVELOPER would be less alarmed by the message. We 
did not pursue this though, to avoid completely silent failures for developers 
who expect ctags to be working properly.

Is this the error you are referring to?

Thanks,
Ben

If you want that Chapel install compile correctly, including modules, add 
exuberant-ctags to prerequisites
