Hi,
I suspect there is some problem with permissions. Also, you are
compiling on a removable disk, maybe it makes a difference. I
recommend you to use your home directory.
#####################################################################
./configure
#####################################################################
[14:40]/media/sda5/gretl-1.8.6>./configure
...
config.status: executing libtool commands
chmod: changing permissions of `libtool': Operation not permitted
This is the first error. Maybe you can try to:
/media/sda5/gretl-1.8.6> chmod -R 755 *
I think that the libtool file can be deleted (and re-run configure).
Check ownership of the files.
/media/sda5/gretl-1.8.6> sudo chown -R gavriil *
I hope this helps.
Good luck,
Hélio
