[help-gnubatch] Error on make install with GNUBatch 1.5

[Wechsler, Steven]

Just downloaded the latest version, and I get this message when I try to do ‘make install’ on CentOS:

 

$ uname -a

$ sudo make install

cd util;make install prefix="/usr/local" exec_prefix="/usr/local" datarootdir="/usr/local/share"
