Dear Kruno and Benoît, I finally reproduced the problem by setting the following in my initial cmake command -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.... instead of -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/... which I usually do. It might help to do "${HOME}/" instead of "~/" in your cmake. best regards, Munehisa Matsumoto Munehisa MATSUMOTO Department of Physics University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616 E-mail: matsumoto@physics.ucdavis.edu matumott@mac.com matumott@gmail.com On 2011/01/19, at 3:02, Krunoslav Prsa wrote: Hi, I get the same problem when installing on the brutus clustur...

Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake_install.cmake:94 (INCLUDE) I checked that before the installation the file pyalea_c.so existed. Strangely enough, after the preceding error, it has disappeared. any clue of what happened? regards, Benoît Grémaud -------------------- Researcher at CNRS, Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (Paris, France) Visiting Associate Professor at the Centre for Quantum Technologies (NUS, Singapore)
