basic problems installing #87

Closed jordipratcamps closed 8 years ago

jordipratcamps commented 8 years ago

Hi all,

I have had some difficulties installing the software. I apologize for my extremely basic level... I'm pretty lost. At some point, after installing some more packages (apt-get install meep h5utils autoconf) I reached the following point:

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'.

So everything seemed to work. I typed make and I got:

../../../../ylwrap: line 176: yacc: command not found make[4]: * [parser.c] Error 127 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/jordi/scuff-em/src/libs/libMatProp/cmatheval' make[3]: * [install-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory/home/jordi/scuff-em/src/libs/libMatProp' make[2]: **\* [install-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory/home/jordi/scuff-em/src/libs' make[1]: [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory`/home/jordi/scuff-em/src' make: \ [install-recursive] Error 1

Same result when I type make install. It seems the program is not installed since I don't see any executable file inside the folder I specified neither the example files....

I would acknowledge very much your help! I'm looking forward to start using the software!!

you may try sudo apt-get install bison reference to these https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/make-yacc-command-not-found-building-libpcap.9264/ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/yacc-command-not-found-408747/

Thank you very much!!!! After following your advice and installing bison I had to install "flex" too (sudo apt-get install flex) and finally worked! :-)
