I don't think that a Debian package has been created for the version that includes the O(4) model. You will have to build spinmc from source.

Dear Mr Troyer,

I'm writing to you because I have some problems in the installation of ALPS on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 10.04 lucid.

Following the instructions in the guide at

http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Download_and_install_ALPS_2#Download_ALPS_2.0

I proceeded in the following manner:

I openend a terminal and I typed

curl http://www.cpht.polytechnique.fr/ubuntu/gpg_key / sudo apt-key add-

I then added the two debs :
    deb http://www.cpht.polytechnique.fr/ubuntu  lucid alps
    deb-src http://www.cpht.polytechnique.fr/ubuntu  lucid alps
to the file etc/apt/source.list

then I typed

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install alps2-all
sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo reboot

I need to run classical MC simulations for Ising, XY, Heisenberg and O(4) model. I can do the simulations for the Ising, XY and Heisenberg models with the command

spinmc --Tmin 100 --write-xml parm.in.xml

and it seems to work...but I cannot run the simulation for the O(4) model that I know is already included in the newest version.

Which mistake I made in the installation? It seems that I missed some steps also because I have some problems in other commands. For example the command
convert2xml
works but the command
convert2text
doesn't exist.

can you tell me what I have to do ti install ALPS 2.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 lucid?

Thank you very much for the help, with best regards
