Error when building meson (via sboinstall) on Slackware 14.2
by olcal from LinuxQuestions.org on (#599JG)
Hi
I am a new user to Slackware Linux 14.2 and have been using it for sometime. I attempted to install vlc with the command 'sboinstall vlc' and got an error.
sboinstall was running fine until it reached the meson script installation. Then it
printed an error and exited. The error message was
mv: cannot stat '/tmp/SBo/package-meson/usr/share/man': No such file or directory
Below are the last few lines before it exited with an error
.
.
.
running install scripts
Installing meson script to /tmp/SBo/package-meson/usr/share/local/bin
mv: cannot stat '/tmp/SBo/package-meson/usr/share/man': No such file or directory
Failures:
meson: meson.SlackBuild return non-zero
bash-4.3#
I think it cannot find the directory '/tmp/SBo/package-meson/usr/share/man'
Other than that I do not understand how to solve the problem.
My questions are...
1) What does this error mean ?
2) How do I resolve it ?
Can someone guide me ?
