Hi,
I'm trying to install nfftpy, a c subroutine library that deals with fourrier transforms, but cant seem to get it working.
My system info is,

Linux David 3.3.7-1.fc16.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 22 14:14:30 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


Following the instuctions that came with the library,
1) Untar the sources in [home directory]/[your nfft3-install directory] by
tar xfvz nfft3.1.1.tar.gz

2) Run the configuration script and specify the destination for the library
./configure --prefix=[home directory]/[your nfft3 directory]

3) Compile the library by
make

4) Install the library in [home directory]/[your nfft3 directory] by
make install

it fails at step 4 and gives the error below, I have know idea what is wrong so any help is much appreciated.

In ./configure --prefix=... you should define the directory where you want the library to be installed to, not the directory where you are compiling it.

thanks, that worked
