gitslave make install not working?

Question

After upgrading to 12.04, I'm trying to setup gitslave. This worked on 11.10 with version gitslave 2.0.1 (FYI: I tested 2.0.1 on 12.04...same result).

$ tar xvzf gitslave-2.0.2.tar.gz

$ cd gitslave-2.0.2

$ make

$ gits

No command 'gits' found, did you mean:
 Command 'gitps' from package 'gnuit' (universe)
 Command 'giws' from package 'giws' (universe)
 Command 'gitg' from package 'gitg' (universe)
 Command 'gitk' from package 'gitk' (main)
 Command 'gist' from package 'yorick' (universe)
 Command 'git' from package 'git' (main)
gits: command not found

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE:

The gits file doesn't seem to be installed into the right directory

$ sudo find / -name 'gits'

/home/tim/Desktop/gitslave-2.0.2/gits

~/Desktop/gitslave-2.0.2$ ./gits

Usage: gits [-p|--parallel COUNT] [-v|--verbose]+ [--quiet] [--rawout] [--help] [--version]

    [--keep-going] [--no-commit] [--no-hide] [--no-progress]

UPDATE

Embarrassed and annoyed....all it required was a reboot. It suddenly worked this morning, after a good night's sleep.

echo $PATH; ls -l /usr/local/bin

/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

total 132

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 120109 Jun 18 15:59 gits
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   3331 Jun 18 15:58 gits-checkup

Am I going have to reboot everytime install something to /usr/local/bin? (FYI: had this same issue with node-less this morning...it required another reboot to work)

Answer 1

You don't seemed to have run sudo make install or if you did you did not paste that output above.

If you believe you have done so, please update your question with that paste and also include the output of echo $PATH; ls -l /usr/local/bin

If you did not do so, what was the documentation failure which led you to try -C contrib?

Thanks
