Unable to install mons

Open ahmadawais opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

When I ran the following command this is what I got.

sudo make install
Password:
help2man -N -n "POSIX Shell script to quickly manage 2-monitors display." -h -h -v -v ./mons.sh | gzip - > mons.1.gz
/bin/sh: help2man: command not found
mkdir -p /usr/lib/libshlist
mkdir: /usr/lib/libshlist: Operation not permitted
make: *** [install] Error 1

  1. First, did you download mons with the following command ?:
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/Ventto/mons.git
  1. In your log, I see help2man: command not found, have you installed help2man and tried again ?

  2. Why the command mkdir -p /usr/lib/libshlist under sudo failed ? Which is the return code of that command manually run ?

  3. If none of the questions above are helpless, can you share your system information (distro name and version and so on)

  1. Yes I ran git clone --recursive https://github.com/Ventto/mons.git again.
  2. I installed it with brew and that error is gone
  3. With or without sudo I get the same result mkdir: /usr/lib/libshlist: Operation not permitted

I am on MacOS. High Sierra.

I will investigate on MacOS myself. Maybe there is a better path to install libs on the system.
