[bug-GIFT] Error when doing 'make install' with GIFT from cvs on Savannah: gift-diagnose-print-all-ADI.pl

[David Squire]

I am trying to build GIFT on my new machine, which is running Ubuntu:

Linux version 2.6.31-20-generic (address@hidden) (gcc version 4.4.1 
(Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) ) #57-Ubuntu SMP

There is an error in the Makefiles for GIFT from cvs on Savannah:

I can see that 'gift-diagnose-print-all-ADI.pl' does indeed occur twice 
in the arguments to install.

I have seen this same error on a student's machine too (running the 
latest Ubuntu).

Regards,

David
