Greetings.

Installation of gsl 2.6
fails on MacOS 10.14.2, Intel Core i7, 4 cores; 16G ram.

$ sudo ./configure && make && make install

.libs/placeholder.o
error: error opening '.deps/placeholder.Tpo': Permission denied

I see no specific relevant Mac instructions in README or INSTALL.

The directory utils/.deps does not contain anything called placeholder.Tpo as 
seen below:

$ ls
memcpy.Po memmove.Po placeholder.Plo strdup.Po strtol.Po strtoul.Po

Thanks. For what it's worth, from the main directory for gsl-2.6
$ find . -name "*.Tpo" -print
$

I can't fix this; I haven't the faintest what a Tpo file is or why it doesn't 
exist. Googling the error message yields no information.

Thanks!
