Dear Emanuele, The path for Boost as well as that for the ALPS source tree on the CMake command line should be given in absolute path format, e.g. cmake -DBoost_ROOT_DIR:PATH=/home/mydir/alps-2.2.b1-r7195-src-with-boost/boost /home/mydir/alps-2.2.b1-r7195-src-with-boost/alps Also, it is strongly recommended to build in a different directory somewhere outside the source tree.

Dear all, I am trying to install ALPS on a Ubuntu 12.04 (64bit) machine. I have downloaded all the needed libraries, and then I have downloaded and extracted on my desktop alps-2.2.b1-r7195-src-with-boost. I then move into the folder (which contains the subfolders alps and boost) and give the command

sudo cmake -D Boost_ROOT_DIR:PATH=boost/ alps/

I get some errors, here is the output

Does anyone know what is going on?

Thank you all in advance.
