After installing `pakcs` (from `pakcs-2.0.2-amd64-Linux.tar.gz`), I had made a copy of the folder. I figured the original must have got corrupted, so I deleted it and replaced it with the copy that I made after first installing. I still got the same "inappropriate ioctl" error. So I tried running `make` again, without first running `make clean`. I got this error <https://github.com/JeffreyBenjaminBrown/curry-studies/blob/a59cf8ee1a6d469d4dc06aaf34bbe07f884a9d65/pakcs-broken/first-make.txt> [1]. Then I ran `make clean`, and got no apparent errors <https://github.com/JeffreyBenjaminBrown/curry-studies/blob/a59cf8ee1a6d469d4dc06aaf34bbe07f884a9d65/pakcs-broken/make-clean.txt> [2]. But I still can't `make` the project <https://github.com/JeffreyBenjaminBrown/curry-studies/blob/a59cf8ee1a6d469d4dc06aaf34bbe07f884a9d65/pakcs-broken/last-make.txt> [3].
