error for mothur.logFile

Hello,
I have encountered an error when installing mothur v1.7 using a ubuntu 9.10 OS.

I have download, extracted, and ran ‘make’ with no apparent problem.
When I execute ./mothur I get many errors stating the mothur.logFile can not be found. Indeed it does not appear in the file listing of the mother subdirectory:
I have included as many of the statements printed during ‘make’ as possible:
Any help is greatly appreciated, see below and thanks,
Kinchel

Can you check the permissions you have set? The logfile is generated by mothur and it seems like maybe the write permission is denied?

Thanks for the reply!

I could not find the mothur.logFile. I looked manually in the mothur subdir and also searched the hdrive. Perhaps the file was never written.

Any suggestions?
Kinchel

I am also trying my level best to find the error for mother. logFile. It is very hard to find it. Please give proper suggestions for me to work in a proper way. I need another proper views about the logfile will really helps everyone a lot to do something. Thanks for giving the finest details there.
