Since the linker crashes it would be either a bug in the compiler or the linker. Can you try a more recent compiler than a prerelease of gcc 4.1?

Dear Prof. Troyer

Thank you very much for your email. The operating system is Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch). The compiler is gcc (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)).

Will the operating system be too " old " so that it is impossible to install ALPS 2.0.1? Thanks again for your reply.

Sincerely, kubila

Hi,

this is the linker of your system crashing. Which operating systems is this and which compiler?

Hi all

I tried to install the nightly built ALPS 2.0.1 in a PC cluster and ended up with the following error message

Linking CXX shared library libalps.so collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault] /usr/bin/ld: make[2]: *** [src/alps/libalps.so.2.0.1] Error 1 make[1]: *** [src/alps/CMakeFiles/alps.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2

I am not the system administration so I tried to install ALPS into my home directory. The installation process moved on to about 51% and I encountered the error quoted above..... any help will appreciate much.

Sincerely, kubila

It seems that the pthreads library is not available on your machine or not linked. Can you send a copy of your CMakeCache.txt?

Dear Prof. Troyer

Using the official release gcc 4.1.2, this issue is gone. On the other hand, when installing the latest alps 2.0.1, I got another installation error as follows

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
