Hi Dr. Troyer,
          I am stuck at the "Build ALPS section". Listed below are the
instructions I followed along with what I actually did:

Download a source package of ALPS: I downloaded alps-2.1.1-r6176-src.tar.gz
<http://alps.comp-phys.org/static/software/releases/alps-2.1.1-r6176-src.tar.gz>
(I was wondering if downloading alps-2.1.1-r6176-src-with-boost.tar.gz
<http://alps.comp-phys.org/static/software/releases/alps-2.1.1-r6176-src-with-boost.tar.gz>
would be better).
Create a build directory and execute cmake giving the path to the alps and
to the boost directory: I unzipped the source package and tried using

$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/directory
/path/to/alps/directory

I don't know if I really understood this command line. But when I used
it, I the error message "Cmake Error: The source
directory does not appear to contain Cmakelists.txt"

Thanks,

Niraj

I have been trying to install ALPS? in Cygwin in my Windows 7 32-bit system. After installing ALPS I got to?the point where according to the instructions: ?

"If, on the other hand, you install the binary ALPS package for MacOS or Windows you will need to download and install also Vistrails since the ALPS packages were built against the Python interpreter shipped with Vistrails. To do so call
vispython
"
I tried to call? as shown below with no success:
ENUKPERE@ENUKPERE-PC /cygdrive/c/cygwin/ALPS$ vispython
-bash: vispython: command not found
?
I then tried to manually look for vispython? in the ALPS folder and found it in ALPS/bin
?
ENUKPERE@ENUKPERE-PC /cygdrive/c/cygwin/ALPS/bin$ vispython
-bash: vispython: command not found
?
When I issued the command vispython?? the system said command not found.
When I double clicked on vispython it dpened a new command window? C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
?
Sirs, I do not know what I have done wrong. Please me resolve this issue?in the ?installation of ALPS.
I am in dire as my professor is?waiting impatiently for me/
Thanks
ENUKPERE.??
