Hi Andriy,

You need to use an older version of Boost to install ALPS 1.3.5. But why don't you try ALPS 2.0b4 of which there is a simple installer available for Windows?

I have Cygwin 1.7.7 with gcc-g++ 3.4.4-999 , boost 1.43.0-1, libxslt 1.1.26-2, LAPACK 3.2.2-1, and other required packages.

The results of running configure was as follows:

cd /sci/alps ./configure --with-boost=/usr/src/boost_1_43_0

Summary of configuration: ALPS version 1.3.5 prefix /home/admin/ALPS compiler type gnu [g++] optimization yes exceptions yes warnings no Boost version svn MPI support no OpenMP support no HDF5 support no LAPACK support no SQLite support no XML parser native Documentation no
