Why `make` fail during Virtuoso 7.1?

130 views Asked by At

I'm trying to install virtuoso 7.1, and as said in README and INSTALL files I ran autogen.sh, ./configure, it works.
But the command make doesn't work, I don't know why. There was an error with ranlib saying randlib was called without arguments.

If the makefile uses a variable for the ranlib executable (e.g. with RANLIB = ranlib, then you might get further with

make RANLIB=:

or, if that doesn't work,

make RANLIB=echo

effectively making the ranlib invocation a no-op. These days, ranlib is usually no longer needed.
