Thanks! I have figured it out. It turned out to be caused by the fact that I had MPICH2 installed, but the Debian version of Boost.MPI was linked against OpenMPI libraries, which were also installed. I was able to build ALPS after removing MPICH2.

Now I'll see about trying some ALPS examples to see how it is compares to my own Monte Carlo software.

Btw, there is one thing I'm wondering about. I see that the parameters ERROR_VARIABLE and ERROR_LIMIT makes it possible to run a Monte Carlo simulation until some requested accuary is attained. Is there some documentation the describes how this "dynamical" error estimate is achieved? Or would I need to look somewhere in the source?

That's only implemented for the classical MC simulations right now, but will be standard and easy to do in ALPS 3.0

Btw2, the link "ALPS scheduler library" in the section "Input parameters" on the page

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

Thanks, I'll update it

doesn't work.

Hi,

can you test your Boost libraries by writing a small Boost.MPI test program and trying to link it against those libraries.

Alternatively you can also have ALPS build Boost from source.

Hi!

I would like to build ALPS 2.0.2 on my Debian Linux system which has Boost++ 1.46 libraries installed. However, I get the build error shown below. I have attached CMakeCache.txt.

The cmake command was generated by the Debian build system applied to the old alps_2.0.0~rc4 Debian package (but with the updated 2.0.2 source of course) available at:

http://alps.comp-phys.org/static/software/debian/sid/

The cmake command was:

cmake /home/tmac/src/alps/alps-2.0.2-r5790-src/alps/. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH="cc" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH="g++" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wall" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wall" -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DALPS_BUILD_APPLICATIONS:BOOL=ON -DALPS_ENABLE_OPENMP:BOOL=ON -DALPS_BUILD_FORTRAN:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS:STRING=-fopenmp -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" -DCMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed"

As seen here, the boost library files in question are present:

Here is the build error:

Any idea?
