I keep getting this error no matter what I do and I don't know how to fix it:
make[1]: *** /home/my_name: Is a directory. Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:165: all] Error 2

PLEASE HELP ME!

You have a space in your username. Spaces in paths are generally quite bad and will often cause these kind of errors.

Rename your home directory to something without a space with usermod

Code: Select all

sudo usermod -d "/home/joe doe" -m johndoe 
then logout & login. Hopefully that should fix it.
