Installed! And its running.. but there were 8 errors after running ‘make test’ command. Don’t know why!
It is installed with errors?
Were you able to solve those errors?
Yes it is installed with errors! 😛
But its running smoothly right now.. no problem or any glitches that I’ve come across so far!
Actually after that 8 error display I ran the next command and the installation finished so I couldn’t do anything to resolve them. 😀
