201-450 Exam - Question 5


A regular user has just run -

./configure && make && make install

to build and install a program. However, the installation fails. What could be done to install the program? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BD

To install the program successfully, there are a few common methods when the installation process fails due to a regular user not having sufficient permissions. First, running 'make install' with root privileges (option B) ensures that the user has the necessary permissions to write to system directories. Second, rerunning './configure' with a '--prefix' option to a directory where the user has write permissions (option D) allows installation to proceed in a user-owned directory, avoiding permission issues.
