New subject: errors: installing ALPS 2.0.3 on Ubuntu 11.10

1 Feb 2012

      CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:54 (FILE):
  file cannot create directory: /usr/bin/vistrails/packages.  Maybe need
  administrative privileges.
Oh, by the way, do I have to install Vistrails if I just wanna use python?

*Hello Matthias,
Thanks for your reply.

After "./test/fixed_capacity/test_*

Synge, is that a known problem?

I did try "sudo make install" but the errors were still there.

which errors?

Since I am not so experienced in Linux, I don't quite understand " add

the ALPS installation to your path". Could you tell me more detailed
technical things?*
Just type
export PATH=/opt/alps/bin:$PATH
or call the ALPS programs with the /opt/alps/bin prefix,
e.g. /opt/alps/bin/dmrg

Hi Jin Xu,

Dear Madam/Sir,
I am a senior undergraduate student from Department of Physics, Zhejiang
University, China.
I've been trying many times to install ALPS 2.0.3 on my Ubuntu 11.10
Desktop but I failed. I will appreciate if you could help me fix the
problems so that I can use python to run ALPS.

After make test, there come some errors:

98% tests passed, 2 tests failed out of 99
Total Test time (real) =  16.81 sec
The following tests FAILED:
     23 - test_vector (Failed)
     40 - lattice_constant_test (Failed)
The lattice_constant_test can be ignored, but please run the test_vector
executable (./test/fixed_capacity/test_vector from the build directory) and
send us the output.
Errors while running CTest
make: *** [test] Error 8

After make install, there are also some errors:

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:54 (FILE):
  file cannot create directory: /usr/bin/vistrails/packages.  Maybe need
  administrative privileges.
Yes, you need to use
sudo make install

Now I still cannot run ALPS on my laptop (dmft-02-hybridization):

alpspython tutorial2a.py
alpspython: command not found
You need to add the ALPS installation to your path.
python tutorial2a.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tutorial2a.py", line 27, in <module>
    import pyalps
ImportError: No module named pyalps
You need to use either alpspython, or install pyalps into your system
python directory.
dmft hybrid.param
No command 'dmft' found, did you mean:
 Command 'mft' from package 'texlive-binaries' (main)
dmft: command not found
You need to add the ALPS installation to your path.
Best regards
Matthias Troyer
