OTP14B02 configure error

I have tried to install OTP14B02 on OpenSolaris and i get the following error at calling ./configure:

muzaaya@opensolaris:~/Desktop/software and data/otp_src_R14B02# ./configure 
Ignoring the --cache-file argument since it can cause the system to be erroneously configured
Disabling caching
Usage: cd [-LP] [directory]
   Or: cd [ options ] old new
configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in 
export/home/muzaaya/Desktop/software and data/otp_src_R14B02/erts/autoconf 
/export/home/muzaaya/Desktop/software and 
data/otp_src_R14B02//export/home/muzaaya/Desktop/software and data/otp_src_R14B02/erts/autoconf

What could be causing this problem and how can i overcome it?

Solution

  • Whenever I see a space in a path on any system all kinds of bells an whistles goes off, it shouldn't matter but sometime it does. Have you tried moving to a path without spaces in it?

    Also, as it says, it failed to find /export/home/muzaaya/Desktop/software and data/otp_src_R14B02/erts/autoconf/install.sh, does that file exist on your system?
