Compiling error

[rezuzu]

Dear all

I am trying to install yambo-3.4.1 in ubuntu 14.04 LTS (gnu fortran 95 compiler, version gfortran 4:4.8.2-1ubuntu6), and I got the compiling error (attached file) in make yambo.

Is there a way to avoid this error?

Thank you in advance

Karim

Dear Karim,
it is not possible to spot the problem from your post.
Please do the following:
1) make clean_all
2) run the configure script
3) make yambo

and then post the config.log file and the error message.

Best,
Daniele

Dear Karim,
this is unfortunately a problem with the libxc which we include in the code but we do not develop.
We will sonn upgrade to a version which is free from this bug.

Meanwhile you can just edit your file "/usr/include/stdc-predef.h" removing all comments, i.e. all the ines lwhich are between /* comments */

Best regards,
Davide

Dear Kazem,
please fill your signature with your complete affiliation, this is a rule of the forum.
Could you please post exactly the error you encountered?
And what error you have after having removed the comment in the .h file?
Best,

Daniele

[Davide Sangalli]

Try to do
make clean_all

Then run again the configure and compile.
