Question

I am trying to compile and create an executable of this tool, did a ./configure and then make and then make install, however during the process I got this error:

test -z "/usr/local/bin" || ./install-sh -c -d "/usr/local/bin"
mkdir: /usr/local/bin: File exists
make[1]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
make: *** [install-am] Error 2

Any idea on how to get around this?

Answer 1

You appear to have a file named /usr/local/bin. Remove it like so:

rm /usr/local/bin
