Hi,

From this and your other posts, I can tell you are trying to install mothur. We really can’t help you if you don’t provide any context. To build a makefile you need to write make install at the command line. Are you maybe trying to install this via conda? Then try conda install mothur

my problem is solved through easy installation process ./mothur
