When I did "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/directory /path/to/alps/directory", the final message I got was:
.................

-- MPS: enabling NU1 symmetry.

-- tebd will not be built

-- Configuring done

-- Generating done

-- Build files have been written to: /home/niraj/alps

When I did "make", the final message I got was:
..................

[100%] Built target vmusage

P.S. I have also attached text files CMakeCache and makefile in the directory /home/niraj/alps as well as CMakeOutput.log in /home/niraj/alps/CMakeFiles.

What is the output from doing "cmake ......." and from doing "make"?

I did a clean configuration yet again, still I am receiving the same error message. I get this message only when I do "make install." When I do "make test", I get the message "100% tests passed, 0 tests failed.." Is it possible that the pre-release version of the source package I tried has some issue ?

Thanks,
Niraj

Try a clean configuration a make. If pyalea_c.so cannot be built you should get an error message before you do make install, either in the cmake or in the make phase.

(1) Yes, I did "make", then "make test" (everything PASSED when I did that) and finally "make install".
(2) I am trying to build the package named alps-2.2.b3-r7462-src.tar.gz.

Two questions:
- did you do "make" before "make install"?
- which ALPS version are you trying to build

Dr. Troyer, do you mean the option "ALPS_BUILD_PYTHON : ON/OFF" which appears when the command "ccmake ." is used ? Yes, I turned that ON before doing "make install".

Did you turn on building of the Python extensions?

Dear alps users,

       I was able to build ALPS and everything worked except that I got one error when I used the command "make install." The error message reads:

CMake Error at lib/pyalps/cmake_install.cmake:42 (FILE): file INSTALL cannot find "/home/guest/buildalps/lib/pyalps/pyalea_c.so"

        where guest is my user account and buildalps is my build directory for ALPS. I have no idea what this file (pyalea_c.so) is and why I am getting this error. Please help me.

Thanks,
Niraj
