Indeed I am using the gcc-4.6. I hadn't seen the previous patches posted on the forum, sorry.

Actually I had to turn to the gcc compiler as there is an issue with the intel compiler 12.1 and the version of Boost (1.47) shipped with the latest stable alps. For some obscure reason the intel compiler fails to recognize the C++0X standard, even if forced to do so with the option -std=C++0x.

Using an older version of the Boost libraries (the 1.45, for example) solves this issue.

Thanks,

Giuseppe

Which compiler did you use? There is a known problem with gcc-4.6. The latest svn version should fix it, and the patches needed were posted here a few days ago.

Dear all,

I have installed the last stable release of the alps (2.02-r5790) but I have a problem while trying to execute standard applications :

for example, when running the tutorial mc-03-magnetization/tutorial3a.py (but also other tutorials) I get the error message

parsing task files ...
Did not parse to end of string 'DEPLETION'

I think that this issue is related to the lattice library, but I have not been able to figure out the exact origin.

Any help would be really appreciated!
