[gmx-users] Install error for gmx-4.5_beta1

[Justin A. Lemkul]

Hi,

Thanks to the developers for the release of the 4.5 beta.  Unfortunately, I'm 
having a minor issue getting it to install.  My system is Mac OSX 10.5.8 
(Intel), gcc 4.0.1, fftw 3.0.1.  Installation procedure:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gmx_4.5_beta1 --with-gsl 
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/fftw/include -I/sw/include" 
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/fftw/lib -L/sw/lib"

$ make -j 2

$ sudo make -j 2 install

Error message:

Making install in gmxdemo
make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
test -z "/usr/local/gmx_4.5_beta1/share/gromacs/tutor/gmxdemo" || 
../../../config/install-sh -c -d

test -z "/usr/local/gmx_4.5_beta1/share/gromacs/tutor/gmxdemo" ||

The funny part is that if I re-issue the exact same make install command as 
above, the process completes.  Is the issue related to the duplicate "test -z" 
lines shown above?
