For a long time I used alps on ubuntu 12.04 and I had no problem with the installation. Right know I wanted to try installing alps on ubuntu 13.10 and I encounter an problem that I can't solve.

sudo apt-get install cmake-curses-gui libboost-all-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libfftw3-dev gfortran python-matplotlib python-scipy python-h5py liblapack-dev xsltproc python-dev

I found some problem with hdf5 when building alps, that does not existed in ubuntu 12.04, so I installed hdf5 from sources like in:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/unpacked/release_docs/INSTALL

adding --enable-fortran configure option.

then I tried to execute in the build folder following command:

sudo cmake -D BLAS_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/libblas.so -D LAPACK_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/liblapack.so -D PYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so -D Boost_ROOT_DIR:PATH=/home/arymanus/src/alps2/boost HDF5_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/hdf5/lib -D HDF5_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/hdf5/include/ /home/arymanus/src/alps2/alps

and result is below.

I have no idea how to solve this problem I will be very glad for your help.
