Dear friends,
I am trying to install ALPS and my interest is to use it in combination with python, which I am still learning. The installation has so far been more or less easy. However I am stuck with a problem with python. Possibly its only python
I downloaded alps-2.0.0-r5363-src-with-boost.tar.gz and followed the instructions in http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Download_and_install_ALPS_2#Bu... for a generic distribution, until ******************************************** make test ******************************************** where some errors are reported: ******************************************** $ make test ... The following tests FAILED: 1 - ising_single (Failed) 2 - loop_single (Failed) 3 - exchange (Failed) 90 - python_hlist_test (Failed) 91 - python_mcdata (Failed) 92 - python_pyhdf5 (Failed) Errors while running CTest make: *** [test] Error 8 ******************************************** Some of them are trivial, I think. Namely, for the Ising model instead of having an error of exactly 0, the error is of the order of 10^-8. However for the python part it is mode problematic. I managed to trace back the errors to the command ******************************************** carlosp@papa ~/Desktop/alps-2.0.0-r5363-src-with-boost/alps/test/pyalps $ /usr/bin/ctest --force-new-ctest-process -V
