Hello David,
Many thanks for the reply.
No, it did not work. I renamed the CMakeCahe.txt in the amber22_src/build directory, ran ./run_cmake -DBUILD_PERL=FALSE (no problems here),
then make install (the same error).
Somehow, the Perl module is still being built. Is there another place that instructs make to build Perl?
One thing that comes to mind, I did not uninstall CMake 23, which I initially downloaded from cmake.org. My machine is calling the local version of CMake regardless. Is there a config file (or similar) from the first installation of cmake that interferes with the build process?
I found a line in CMakeCache.txt that defines the “var” directory. "var” is the write-protected directory writing into which generates the error.
//Modifiable single-machine data (var)
CMAKE_INSTALL_LOCALSTATEDIR:PATH=var
Can this variable be redefined somewhere so as to use a user-accessible directory instead of var?
Thanks,
Valentin

Thanks for the detailed report, but I don't know why you are seeing this
problem, but no one else has reported it. There is no specific mention of
"/var" in this Makefile, and you may be correct that the C compiler is
choosing it. This is code from the Perl community, and we didn't write it.
We test Amber on CentOS 7 in a pretty vanilla virutal machine, and don't see
the problem.
Try adding the following define to your run_cmake script:
-DBUILD_PERL=FALSE
Remove the CMakeCache.txt file, and re-run the script, followed by make
install. That should skip the problem.
....hope this helps...dac
