error when make install on Ubuntu 12.10

[wlbksy]

when using make install ,errors:

wanglei@coding:/julia$ make install
mkdir -p julia-593a0229b6/{sbin,bin,etc,lib/julia,share/julia}
cp /home/wanglei/julia/usr/bin/julia julia-593a0229b6/bin
cp: target `julia-593a0229b6/bin' is not a directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
wanglei@coding:/julia$ ls julia-593a0229b6/
{sbin,bin,etc,lib
wanglei@coding:/julia/julia-593a0229b6$ cd {sbin,bin,etc,lib/
wanglei@coding:/julia/julia-593a0229b6/{sbin,bin,etc,lib$ ls
julia,share

however ,mkdir -p julia-593a0229b6/{sbin,bin,etc,lib/julia,share/julia} by hand can create correct directories :

wanglei@coding:/julia$ rm julia-593a0229b6/ -r
wanglei@coding:/julia$ mkdir -p julia-593a0229b6/{sbin,bin,etc,lib/julia,share/julia}
wanglei@coding:/julia$ cd julia-593a0229b6/ && ls
bin etc lib sbin share
wanglei@coding:/julia/julia-593a0229b6$ ls lib/ share/
lib/:
julia

share/:
julia

For some reason, our make subshells aren't interpreting the {a,b,c} syntax properly on Ubuntu. I've submitted a pull request to change this to a for loop, in the meantime, you can manually copy-paste the solution lines into your own Makefile if you wish. Alternatively, you can just manually create the folders as you have been doing.

Also, if you surround your terminal output with three grave marks, it'll be easier to read. (A grave mark is a `)

Thanks for the bug report!

The {a,b,c} syntax is a Bash-ism, I think. Ubuntu 12.10 is probably shelling out to dash instead. We're probably best off not using Bash-specific constructs in the Makefile, though there's a way to tell make to use a specific shell.
