I can't see the root cause for the error message you posted. The lines you showed seem to be consecutive errors of some root error message that is not visible. -j 8 enables parallel building, using 8 threads instead of only 1 for the build process. If your build fails with a simple make it will fail with a make -j 8 too. In fact you should use only "make" since it is simpler to debug.

In general it is a good idea not to compile as root but as a regular user.

If the total error messages are too long for an email, please post them using a service like pastebin. Also please provide information about your OS version, compilers used, etc.

If you are unfamiliar with compiling programs from source I can offer to send you a link to a virtualbox image containing a fresh working install of alps and vistrails.

All the best

Benedikt

Dear Julien,

Thank you for your reply. I first logged in as root in my pc and then changed directory to /opt/. Then ran the command

cmake -D Boost_ROOT_DIR=/opt/alps-2.2/alps-2.2.b3-r7462-src-with-boost/boost -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/alps-2.2 /opt/alps-2.2/alps-2.2.b3-r7462-src-with-boost/alps

It worked fine. After that I ran "make " and got the error as attached in my previous mail.

Again I found a website http://linuxtoolkit.blogspot.kr/2011/11/installing-alps-20-from-source-on.html where they suggested to use

"make -j 8 " instead of simply "make"

Unfortunately I again some errors :

Please help me to install alps properly in my pc.

Thanking you,

Dr. Santu Baidya

Dear Santu,

If you install the package in the 'opt' directory you have to use 'sudo'. Did you try to write in the terminal : sudo make test, sudo make install etc ...

Dear alps users,

I am currently installing alps-2.2.b3-r7462-src-with-boost in Linux, 4.4.0-47-generic #68-Ubuntu, x86_64, GNU/Linux. I first followed the instruction and ran the command:

cmake -D Boost_ROOT_DIR=/opt/alps-2.2/alps-2.2.b3-r7462-src-with-boost/boost -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/alps-2.2 /opt/alps-2.2/alps-2.2.b3-r7462-src-with-boost/alps

It ran without any problem.

After that when I ran make i got some error for installation:
