Hi again,
I put the app files in the same directory as the libs directory, and as i expected it did not work.
I don't think that --prefix=... option is used for both lib and app directories.
This is because it is explicitly indicated in the wiki page that while configuring the apps installation, --prefix=... stands for the location of the alps "libs":
"For easy setup, we have provided a configure script. Just type 
$ ./configure --prefix=ALPS_DIR
...ALPS_DIR is the directory where the ALPS *library* is installed"

This makes sense because the script configure for the apps already *knows* its location (which is within the alps apps directory since it belongs there).

Thanks though.
let me know what you think.

Cheers.

Hi Ryo,

So you are suggesting that i should put alps-apps files in the same folder as the alps files.
I will give it a shot and let you know about the result soon.

Thanks,

It looks like you don't install ALPS Libraries.

Did you execute
$ make install
when you build ALPS libraries?

If you sure you did, then I want to ask you another question.
What do you specify for the configure script for the ALPS *Libraries* ?
The --prefix=/foo/bar option should be the same for Libraries and Applications.
