These tests can also fail if ALPs does not set up the Python test environment correctly. I would not worry about it. Just try to use the Python packages.

Hello all.

I followed the instructions in

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

to compile and install ALPS2 on a Fedora 14 x86_64 machine, and did manage to install it, but there were a few caveats and 3 tests failed in the end, so I thought I'd share my experience and ask for help here.

Basically, what I did was get the tar.gz with boost (because f14 still has 1.44), unpacked, created the build dir and then installed missing dependencies (numpy, hdf5, lapack-devel, blas-devel, fftw-devel, sqlite-devel).

Some where not documented, like lpsolve and szip (from hdf site), and I had to look in CMakeCache.txt for the variable names, so if I didn't miss it, maybe this could be included in the docs?

After trying cmake a lot of times, I had to delete the build directory and create a fresh one, and run

cmake -D SZIP_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=~/Downloads/szip-2.1/szip/include -D LPSolve_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include/lpsolve -D Boost_ROOT_DIR:PATH=~/Downloads/alps-2.0.0-r5363-src-with-boost/boost ~/Downloads/alps-2.0.0-r5363-src-with-boost/alps 2>&1 | tee cmake.log make make test

and torwards the end I got

90/92 Test #90: python_hlist_test ................***Failed    1.84 sec
Start 91: python_mcdata
91/92 Test #91: python_mcdata ....................***Failed    0.19 sec
Start 92: python_pyhdf5
92/92 Test #92: python_pyhdf5 ....................***Failed    0.18 sec

97% tests passed, 3 tests failed out of 92

I did "make install", but has anyone else had this problems? Could it be because Fedora 14 comes with python 2.7 ?

Thanks in advance, Cheers, Miguel
