I am trying to install rlwrap. I do not have root permissions.
I did the following to install rlwrap using some steps mentioned online :
gunzip rlwrap*.gz
tar -xvf rlwrap*.tar
cd rlwrap
./configure
make
make check
make install
But in the last step when I do "make install", I get an error
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/rlwrap': Read-only file system
make[2]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
I tried "sudo make install", I still get the same error.
What are the options now to install rlwrap?
Thanks
In order to install it without root permissions, you need to configure it as follows:
./configure --prefix=$HOME
after which 'make install' will install rlwrap in $HOME/bin
(Above info is from INSTALL file in root folder of rlwrap)
