You need to be root to install in /usr/local/bin (use sudo make install or use make PREFIX=/my/prefix/). I'll update the README

[avsm]

make install could default to the OPAM bin directory before trying /usr/local, perhaps?

It does not seem to be a permission problem. I tried both suggestions
a) % sudo make install
b) % make PREFIX=/home/cm770/local install
and got a similar erroneous outcome (see text below).

Quick look. It seems you irminsule is already installed I think you should have it /home/cm770/ocamlbrew/ocaml-4.01.0/.opam/system/bin. If you try to install it again the install procedure fails because ocamlfind already sees it installed. I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do -- build and install from the sources ? -- in that case do an opam remove irminsule and maybe an ocamlfind remove irminsule to be sure and start again.

[samoht]

There's indeed a bug in oasis, make uninstall does not work reliably. I'll add a note in the README, thanks for the report.

[carlos-molina]

I've tried to use PREFIX=$HOME/local to send the make results to my home directory.

Yet it seems that my PREFIX option is overwritten by an option of higher priority (is it coming from setup.data?). make insists in (cp_ing) storing the results in /user/local. See the outcome:

"

ocaml setup.ml -install

In response to dbuenzli (who's been very supportive, merci!)-- yes, I'm trying to install irminsule from git master repository. Just for fun, to uncover potential bugs in the deployment process and more importantly, to play with it!

[samoht]

yes, removing setup.data should fix that. Hope at one point to get ride of oasis to build irminsule to avoid this kind of issues which are confusing for new users.

[carlos-molina]

It seems that it compiled successfully after deleting 'setup.data'. Thanks to thomas and dbuenzli.

For our records, I executed the following Linux commands (in the specified order) from my 'bash' shell. I'm not sure which commands are absolutely essential.

1st) opam remove irminsule

2nd) ocamlfind remove irminsule

3. make uninstall

4. make clean

5. make

6. rm setup.data

7. make PREFIX=/homes/cm770/local install (* homes/cm770 is my $HOME dir, local is an arbitrary dir *)

As a result I can see the file 'irmin'
