Hi all,

i am experiencing an un-expected error during installation of the alps-applications.
When I run the "configure" command, the configuration process stops with the error that it can not find the alps library.
Well, since that I *expilicitly* indicate the location of the alps libs with the option "--prefix=/home/bulut/alps", and that I successfully installed the library (the installation passed *all* the tests successfully) it doesn't really make sense that I am getting the error message below.

Have any of you experienced a similar problem or have any idea on what might cause this?
=============
bulut@bulut-laptop:~/applications_alps$ ./configure --prefix=/home/bulut/alps
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for ALPS Libraries... not found
configure: error: ALPS Libraries not found.
=============================

Thanks.

Cheers.

You will need to state the error more exactly than this; I don't
remember having any serious problems with ALPS in Ubuntu 8.04.
