Dear ALPS users/developers,

After cmake and ccmake, I am trying to 'make' the ALPS 2.2b1 files on my computer (running on Linux Mint 13 Maya, which is in turn based on Ubuntu 12.04); however I get the following error message:

<SNIP>

I have tried reinstalling hdf5 (libhdf5-serial-dev) and the ALPS multiple times on this computer but there is always some error related to the hdf5 files, either during the make process or the cmake configuration. If you could please help me debug this particular error, that would be greatly appreciated. A few technical notes are appended at the end.

Thanks so much.

Regards,
Vipin

======================================

1) Surprisingly I am able to build and install ALPS without any problems on a laptop running native Ubuntu 12.04.

2) cmake command
cmake -D Boost_ROOT_DIR:PATH=~/Desktop/alps-2.2.b1-r7195-src-with-boost/boost -DALPS_INSTALL_VISTRAILS_PACKAGES=ON -D VISTRAILS_APP_DIR:PATH=~/Desktop/vistrails-src-nightly-09cb1cfff309/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/Desktop/alps-2.2.b1-r7195-src-with-boost/opt_alps ~/Desktop/alps-2.2.b1-r7195-src-with-boost/alps
