I've been curious if mpir would be the best choice for me over gmp. I finally decided to put it to the test and then decide. I first installed gmp-6.1.0 (also tuned it) and then started the process of building mpir, cloned from the github repo. I tuned mpir, everything was going quite well. Ran checks and everything passed...until I typed 'make install', oddly enough. Here is the output of what happened:
--- test -z "/usr/local/bin" || /bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/bin" /usr/bin/install -c yasm ytasm vsyasm '/usr/local/bin' /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file ‘/usr/local/bin/yasm’: Permission denied /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file ‘/usr/local/bin/ytasm’: Permission denied /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file ‘/usr/local/bin/vsyasm’: Permission denied --- I ended up logging into root and let mpir install into /usr/local/bin but I shouldn't have to. ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX/mpir --with-gmp=$PREFIX/gmp-6.1.0 --enable-cxx --enable-gmpcompat Since I did not have yasm installed, I'm assuming that mpir is trying to install it's own version...and it did so in a directory that I don't have permissions to write in. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
