Alexander, which version of MonetDB are you trying to install? Jun2010-SP1? You could try the preview for the upcoming Jun2010-SP2 release, which is available from http://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/testing/ Please report, whether this works for you, or not. If you still experiece problems, please report the version of Debian you are using, and attach the complete logs and console output of your monetdb-install.sh run.

Hi,

I tried to install MonetDB on a Debian Linux system with

./monetdb-install.sh --prefix=/export/local-1/public/node/MonetDB --enable-sql --enable-xquery --enable-optimize

but I got the error message

... test -z "/export/local-1/public/node/MonetDB/lib" || /bin/mkdir -p "/export/local-1/public/node/MonetDB/lib" /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c libstream.la '/export/local-1/public/node/MonetDB/lib' libtool: install: error: cannot install `libstream.la' to a directory not ending in /usr/local/lib make[6]: *** [install-streamLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 ... installing MonetDB failed

I have no root rights so I need the --prefix argument.

Thank you very much

Alexander
