Make fails to find Miniconda2

[gkenway]

I'm trying to install taucmdr on a linux x86 workstation. There is something wrong with the install that can't find the Minicona file it downloaded, even though it actually exists. I've hacked the Makefile to set USE_MINICOND=false and it gets further, but then dies when you actually try to run tau initialize

I am unsure of the source of the error you are seeing with the installation of Miniconda. I was unable to reproduce it on our systems. Can you provide more details on the system you are trying to install on? In particular, what Linux distribution and version of that distribution is it running?

You may want to try the unstable branch, which represents a soon-to-be-released version and has several bug fixes in it. If you try that branch, try installing with make install INSTALLDIR=/path/to/install, e.g., make install INSTALLDIR=$HOME/taucmdr-install
