Dear Alps users, there is a bug in the boost library that is shipped with alps. On some systems, any program that is linked to boost_filesystem or alps aborts with the following error message. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid Aborted This bug is known and a patch exists [1]. I tried the patch and it worked for me. Another quick workaround is setting LC_ALL="C". I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.10. The bug appears both in the deb-package and also when compiling from source. deb-version: alps 2.0.0-4, boost 1.45.0-1 source package: alps-2.0.0-r5363-src-with-boost Best regards, Andreas Herrmann [1] https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4688
