Error in issuing a make and make install

Hi,

Recently I install a package and try to do a make and make install.

However, in the make it gives me below error:-

make[1]:Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am'
make[1]:Nothing to be done for 'install-data-am'

Can anyone please explain to me what does this mean? I have been trying alot of times of make clean and do a make and make install. However, the same error still occur.

Please help.
Thanks.

It would mean that the target 'install-exec-am' is achieved. show us the makefile. Perhaps if you name the package someone in the forum may have some prior experience with that and can guide you.
