Installation error with MPI support

[JatinKaushik7827]

I am trying to install v3.01.03_r1168 in a virtual environment in ubuntu 22.04.
#wget https://github.com/Yandell-Lab/maker/archive/refs/tags/Version_3.01.03_r1168.tar.gz

#cd maker-Version_3.01.03_r1168/src/

I have to proceed with root privileges as some of the packages are not installed using #./Build installdeps

I installed RepeatMasker externally, it runs successfully. Then created a symbolic link in the path.
#sudo ln -s /home/ravi/RepeatMasker/ /home/ravi/maker-Version_3.01.03_r1168/exe/

#sudo ./Build install

• MISSING PREREQUISITES - CANNOT CONTINUE!!

Is there a workaround to diagnose what's going west??!!

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Say no to the "Install DBD::Pg" question. It's an optional install. Also sometimes './Build installdeps' fails randomly with SIGCHLD. I don't know why, it's a Perl issue. Just running it again seems to fix it. For any tool that './Build installexes' fails on, you will need to install that tool manually and not let MAKER install it for you.
