problem with install on linux

mothur bugs
1

Dear all,

I tried to install mothur on ubuntu 12 and after command “make” saw this info:

g++ -O3 -mtune=native -march=native -DBIT_VERSION -DRELEASE_DATE="“7/27/2015"” -DVERSION="“1.36.1"” -DMOTHUR_FILES=""/home/krosh/exchange/16S/!Mothur"" -DUSE_BOOST -I. -I source/ -I source/calculators/ -I source/chimera/ -I source/classifier/ -I source/clearcut/ -I source/commands/ -I source/communitytype/ -I source/datastructures/ -I source/metastats/ -I source/randomforest/ -I source/read/ -I source/svm/ -c -o source/progress.o source/progress.cpp
/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
makefile:126: Recipe executions cause an error for «source/progress.o»
make: *** [source/progress.o] Error 2

Do anybody has a clue what could be the problem?

Many thanks in advance!

It looks like you’re not escaping the closing quotation mark in your mothur path.

So

"\"/home/krosh/exchange/16S/!Mothur""

Should be

"\"/home/krosh/exchange/16S/!Mothur\""

Thank you!
