Ubuntu 12.04.3 64Bit makemkv-oss-1.8.7 ./configure fails

[sparticle]

1.8.6 installed fine and ran fine on my system.

1.8.7 wil not install.

./configure
bash: ./configure: Permission denied

So running it with sudo:

sudo sh ./configure
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/media/DRIVEF/Downloads/Software/makemkv-oss-1.8.7':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details


I cannot get past this error and do not know what to try to get this working I ran:

sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev

Before running the ./configure script to install all pre-requisites and it upgraded a number of the above compnents.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Anyone!

1.8.7 wil not install.
./configure

Do not run configure with sudo - if you get a permission denied then something has already gone wrong. Potentially if you have used sudo when extracting the tarballs.

I have just built a clean 12.04.3 machine and installed MakeMKV 1.8.7 with no problems. (It even installs without problems under 14.04 daily!)

Just open a new terminal window as your user and execute the following:

wget http://www.makemkv.com/download/makemkv ... 8.7.tar.gz
wget http://www.makemkv.com/download/makemkv ... 8.7.tar.gz
tar xvzf makemkv-bin-1.8.7.tar.gz
tar xvzf makemkv-oss-1.8.7.tar.gz

(You should have already run this following line, but just copy paste anyway as you cannot break anything by re-running it)
sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev

cd makemkv-oss-1.8.7
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ../makemkv-bin-1.8.7
make
sudo make install

The only lines that require sudo are the install lines - all other lines should be executed as your user.

SorenM,

Thank you so much. That worked perfectly. No errors or issues.
