Dear Andrea,

I had same problem but I think I resolve it.

Navigate to <ALPS LIBRARY FOLDER>/src/alps/parapack/
Open filelock.C file then find this lines:

#if defined(ALPS_HAVE_WINDOWS_H)
    int fd = _open(lock_.native_file_string().c_str(), O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL , _S_IWRITE);
#else
    int fd = open(lock_.native_file_string().c_str(), O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL);
#endif

change it to

#if defined(ALPS_HAVE_WINDOWS_H)
    int fd = _open(lock_.native_file_string().c_str(), O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL , _S_IWRITE);
#else
    int fd = open(lock_.native_file_string().c_str(), O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL, S_IWRITE);
#endif

Run "make" again.
It work but developers should confirm if its good enough.

Dear All,

I am attempting to install alps-1.3.5 release candidate 3.

I already have alps-1-3-4 installed, so I moved the ALPS directory to
another location. Presumably this ensures a fresh install. I have boost
and lapack in my home space. I am running Ubuntu 9.10.

I run ./configure:


[...]
Summary of configuration:
 ALPS version        1.3.5
 prefix              /home/andrea/ALPS
 compiler type       gnu [g++]
 optimization        yes
 exceptions          yes
 warnings            no
 Boost version       1_41
 MPI support         no
 OpenMP support      no
 HDF5 support        no
 LAPACK support      yes
 SQLite support      no
 XML parser          native
 Documentation       no


I run make, but this eventually exits with an error:

This occurs even if I select an older gcc complier, using the flag
--with-compiler=gcc-4.1.3.

I've not had trouble installing ALPS libraries in the past, so this may
well be an issue with Ubuntu 9.10, rather than the release candidate
itself. In any case, any help would be really appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Andrea
