For future reference, the problem was the GNU Coreutils version. My version was relatively old (6.5) and did not have -n as an option. I updated GNU Coreutils to 8.5 via this source: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/
I no longer get the invalid option error. But I now get the following error when entering make devrel : cp -Rn dev/riak dev/dev1 cp: cannot stat 'dev/riak' : No such file or directory make: *** [dev1] Error 1 On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 7:39 PM, Ted Karmel <[email protected]> wrote: > OS = Ubuntu Hardy > > On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 7:25 PM, Grant Schofield <[email protected]> wrote: >> What OS are you running through the FastTrack tutorial on? >> >> Thanks, >> Grant Schofield >> Developer Advocate >> Basho Technologies >> >> >> On May 11, 2010, at 12:22 PM, Ted Karmel wrote: >> >>> I am following the Riak FastTrack tutorial: >>> >>> https://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/Building+a+Development+Environment >>> >>> But I am stumbling on one step: >>> >>>> make devrel >>> >>> For which I get the following error message: >>> >>> cp -Rn dev/riak dev/dev1 >>> cp: invalid option -- n >>> Try 'cp --help' for more information. >>> make: *** [dev1] Error 1 >>> >>> >>> Any suggestions much appreciated. >>> >>> Thanks. >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> riak-users mailing list >>> [email protected] >>> http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com >> >> > _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
