Dear Prof. Troyer,
Thanks for your advice on not building alps in /opt/alps. I mistook the instruction on making a build directory to mean that both the build stage and the the install stage can be in the same directory, in my case /opt/alps.
I have corrected this and I am in the process of building and installing alps on my system, now.

Dear Prof. Troyer,
Thanks for the prompt response to my mail.
Yes, as advised in Bauer, et al (2011). I built Alps in /opt/alps
using the Cmake3.0 Gui.
 The build process did not report any error until the make test stage
and the subsequent make install stage where I got the error messages I
reported earlier.
As you suggested, I, actually, ignored the warning on the Numpy API.
Thank you.
Best regards,

ALPS should be installed in /opt/alps but may not be *built* there.

The errors you get are because you build in the install directory

Dear Henry,

On Ubuntu you can install ALPS with the following commands:


## Get dependencies
apt-get -yq install build-essential gfortran cmake subversion \
                    libhdf5-serial-dev libfftw3-dev gfortran python-matplotlib \
                    python-scipy liblapack-dev xsltproc python-dev libboost-all-dev

## Download sources
mkdir -p $HOME/src/alps && cd $HOME/src/alps
svn co https://alps.comp-phys.org/svn/alps1/trunk/alps

## Compile and install ALPS
cd $HOME/src/alps
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../alps
make -j4 # replace 4 by the number of cores on your (virtual) machine. make sure you have ca. 1GB of memory per core
make install

Dear Henry,

Here I will only reply to the measurements question, since you already posted the installation problem to the ALPS-Users mailing list, which is actually the right place for it.

You are lucky that you just want to measure something very similar to what a colleague of us is doing.

In general, special and models and measurements can be implemented in the XML description of the model library, which is documented on the ALPS website.
models: https://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Tutorials:ModelHOWTO
measurements: https://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Tutorials:MeasureHOWTO

As you find in the measurement tutorials, they the actual implementation may change a bit from application to application. What follows is specific to the MPS codes. You find more in our paper and in the online documentation of the input parameters
http://alps.comp-phys.org/static/mps_doc/parameters.html

1) Structure factor
We don?t support is directly in the MPS codes, but you can measure the density-density correlation function and then do the Fourier transform yourself.
MEASURE_CORRELATIONS[Density correlation] = ?n:n?
or (only for MPS codes) if you ok having only <Psi | n_i n_j | Psi> with i<j:
MEASURE_HALF_CORRELATIONS[Density correlation] = ?n:n?

2) String operator
You need to define the corresponding operator in you basis, e.g. (highlighted in red are the new parts)
<SITEBASIS name="boson">
  <PARAMETER name="Nmax" default="infinity"/>
  <PARAMETER name="rho" />
  <QUANTUMNUMBER name="N" min="0" max="Nmax"/>
  <OPERATOR name="bdag" matrixelement="sqrt(N+1)">
    <CHANGE quantumnumber="N" change="1"/>
  </OPERATOR>
  <OPERATOR name="b" matrixelement="sqrt(N)">
    <CHANGE quantumnumber="N" change="-1"/>
  </OPERATOR>
  <OPERATOR name="n" matrixelement="N"/>
  <OPERATOR name="dn" matrixelement="rho-N" />
  <OPERATOR name="String" matrixelement="cos(pi*(rho-N))" />
</SITEBASIS>

You can then use the MEASURE_LOCAL_AT measurement type (see documentation). Example in the parameters
Nmax=4
rho=2
MEASURE_LOCAL_AT[String - 2] = ?dn:String:String:dn|(1,2,3,4),(2,3,4,5),(3,4,5,6)"
MEASURE_LOCAL_AT[String - 4] = ?dn:String:String:String:String:dn|(1,2,3,4,5,6),(2,3,4,5,6,7),(3,4,5,6,7,8)"

3) Parity
You could proceed very similar to the String operator, but you have to define a full string with the size of your system.



Best regards,
Michele
