Description
Hello,
I successfully completed the following codes:
cd src
make
Bu when typing make install, I got the following error:
$make install
mv baseprog convertf mergeit pca eigensrc/pcatoy eigensrc/smartrel eigensrc/smarteigenstrat eigensrc/twstats eigensrc/eigenstrat eigensrc/eigenstratQTL eigensrc/smartpca smartpca ../bin
mv: will not overwrite just-created ../bin/smartpca with smartpca
make: *** [install] Error 1
It seems this was trying to move two same "smartpca" to the "/bin" folder and cause the problem. Could you help me with this install step? Thank you.

Start by inspecting the install target invoked by make install and the duplicate smartpca entries shown in the reported mv command. Reproduce the install step after building from src; done means installation completes without the will not overwrite just-created error.
