scuff-em Installation Issues

[ZhihaoJia16]

Dear Homer, I am installing scuff-em, and meet some problems.

% sudo apt-get install liblapack-dev libblas-dev libhdf5-serial-dev python-dev gmsh % git clone https://homerreid@github.com/HomerReid/scuff-em.git % cd scuff-em % sh autogen.sh --prefix=/path/to/scuff-em-installation-directory

I do these steps, then I get the following results:

... config.status: creating unitTests/Makefile config.status: creating config.h config.status: config.h is unchanged config.status: executing depfiles commands config.status: executing libtool commands configure: configure: * The configure process was successful. configure: * Now type 'make' to compile and sudo 'make install'. configure:

then i do "make", get following results:

Now, is scuff-em installed successfully ？If not, how to solve these problems ?

Thanks a lot for your time and help. Best. Zhihao Jia

Hi

it looks like the readline.h file is missing. try installing with apt-get packages the should look like libreadline6, libreadline6-dev or something like that.

I install libreadline6, libreadline6-dev, then success. Thank you very much.

Whoops! This was my mistake. (Giovanni, thanks for your help in clearing it up!)

The fix recommended by Giovanni is indeed the correct thing to do. However, the fact that you got this error in the first place is actually a mistake on my part, because the configure script tests for the presence of libreadline and turns off the compilation of code features that depend on it if the library is not found. My mistake was that in the test program tGetEntries for libhmat I failed to insert code to test for the presence of this library before depending on it.

I have fixed this in the latest commit. Thanks for the bug report!
