CGAL users discussion list

[<>]

Hi, I'm trying to install TAUCS to enable CGAL, specifically, I'm interested 
in
Poisson Surface Reconstruction.  I'm not a jedi knight at compilation but I 
can
usually bum around to find the necessary dependencies etc.

Anyway, the documentation in taucs_full.tgz says:

"
The version modified by the CGAL project can be installed on Unix machines by:

  ./configure [module=\!AMD] [prefix=PREFIX]

  make

  make install

"

When I run ./configure I get:
"
dave@dave-laptop:~/taucs/taucs_full$
 ./configure
cc -o configurator/configurator configurator/taucs_config.c
rm -rf lib/linux/*
rm -rf obj/linux/*
rm -rf bin/linux/*
rm -rf lib/linux/*.*
rm -rf obj/linux/*.*
rm -rf bin/linux/*.*
rm -rf build/linux/taucs_config_tests.h
rmdir obj/linux/
rmdir: failed to remove `obj/linux/': No such file or directory
make: [clean] Error 1 (ignored)
rmdir bin/linux/
rmdir: failed to remove `bin/linux/': No such file or directory
make: [clean] Error 1 (ignored)
rmdir lib/linux/
rmdir: failed to remove `lib/linux/': No such file or directory
make: [clean] Error 1 (ignored)
"

All help is appreciated.  Please let me know if you have further
questions/suggests.

Thanks,
-Dave

p.s. My question, motivation, and error messages are very similar to that of
this poster:
https://lists-sop.inria.fr/sympa/arc/cgal-discuss/2009-11/msg00288.html
However, I'm not sure how to apply the solution found in that thread to my
problem as I'm unsure how to modify a linux.mk in /config correctly in a way
similar to that actions of that thread.
