<p>Steps to reproduce (on Ubuntu 22.04, and I’ve reproduced this on Rocky Linux 8 as well).</p>
<p>Go to <code>/tmp/</code> , create a directory named <code>ETK_builds/Riemann:test:sed</code><br>
Go to this directory: <code>cd /tmp/ETK_builds/Riemann:test:sed</code> . Download the latest Toolkit release (Riemann), following the official instructions:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span>curl -kLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gridaphobe/CRL/ET_2022_05/GetComponents</span>
<span>chmod a+x GetComponents</span>
<span>./GetComponents --parallel https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/manifest/raw/ET_2022_05/einsteintoolkit.th</span>
</pre></div>
<p>Copy the config scripts attached to this ticket to <code>Cactus</code> and go into <code>Cactus</code>. Upon running the <code>make blah-config</code>, you will get errors of the form</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span>creating make.config.defn</span>
<span class="c">sed: can't read /tmp/ETK_builds/Riemann: No such file or directory</span>
<span class="c">sed: can't read /tmp/ETK_builds/Riemann:test:sed/Cactus/lib/make/test: No such file or directory</span>
<span class="c">sed: can't read /tmp/ETK_builds/Riemann:test:sed/Cactus/lib/make/sed/Cactus/lib/make/make.config.defn.in: No such file or directory</span>
</pre></div>
<p>… and you will be unable to build the Toolkit.</p>
