I downloaded the latest version of nano and I followed the instructions described on its website, but I was stopped by step 3:
- Download the source file (nano-2.2.6.tar.gz) and unpack it.
- Open Terminal and navigate to the directory (nano-2.2.6) and type
- ./configure
- make
- make install
The error messages are as follows:
