failure to install bash in Zorin-os system
I am installing Bash into zorin-os system. According to install instruction, I have successfully passed "configuration", "make' and "make tests". When I typed "make install", to install, the following message come up and the installation stopped. Is there any suggestion to fix this? Thanks.
