Thank you, Dr. Troyer. Now I am having problems trying to build ALPS. I downloaded the source package alps-2.2.b1-r7195-src.tar.gz from the webpage "http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Download_and_install_ALPS_2" and tried to build it, I was not successful at all. Then I downloaded the other source package alps-2.1.1-r6176-src.tar.gz from the same page and tried to build it, I ended up getting the same error message which reads "Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid."

Where can I find the correct source code for ALPS ?

lpsolve and sqlite are not needed anymore. zlib and szlib are included in the binary distributions of HDF5 for Windows, which are easier to use than building from source.

Dear alps users, 

         I have been trying to build alps package from source on Windows 7 OS. I have been following the outdated instructions on the page 

I could not find the proper versions of Zlib, SZlib, Lpsolve and SQlite. There are links on this webpage that read "Check out the source code from <>" where <> is, for instance, https://alps.comp-phys.org/svn/alps1/trunk/wistaria/windows/lpsolve for "Lpsolve". I don't know how to download the source codes using these links.

          I tried to download the source codes from a trusted webpage like sourceforge.net, some of them work while others don't and I keep getting errors.

           Please help me.
