ViennaRNA package installation

I'm trying to install ViennaRNA package on my home directory like

,/configure --prefix=/home/username make install

But it returns the following... * no rule to make target 'install'. stop

Can anyone tell me what seems to be the problem?

Is there any Makefile ?

Presumably ./configure threw an error. Look in config.log for details.

Thanks. Yes the makefiles are in there. I looked through the configure log file and I get the following warning configure: WARNING: SWIG version >= 2.0.0 is required. You have 1.3.40. Would that be the issue. If so can I resolve the issue at my end? OR do I contact the system admin for it?

In general, it helps if you state on which operating system you are trying to install which particular version of a given package.

The Swig on your system is a fairly old version, which in turns indicates you are running a very old OS. The ViennaRNA devs provide several binary packages, you could try asking your SysAdmin to install one of those binaries. Otherwise, you will have to install a newer SWIG and pass its location to the configure script.

Thank you. I'm trying to install ViennaRNA-2.2.4 (the latest version) on Unix. I will try using other binaries and if the error persists try contacting the SysAdmin.
