Re: parallel with text file of command lines

[Alle Meije Wink]

Oh dear...

The ''parallel'' I was trying to get to do all the work was from the
'moreutils' package in Ubuntu.
A name confusion that may be worth considering! (the other parallel
seemed to be there first)

Downloaded the latest version, did
./configure --program-prefix=/usr/local/
make
make install

The last command exits with
>> /usr/bin/install -c parallel '/usr/local/bin/.//usr/localparallel'
>> /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file 
>> `/usr/local/bin/.//usr/localparallel': No such file or directory
>> make[2]: *** [install-binSCRIPTS] Error 1
>> make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/parallel-dev/src'
>> make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
>> make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/parallel-dev/src'
>> make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

Should probably not happen ???

Anyway, just doing configure;make;make install works!!!
And parallel works great :)
