Hello sir,

I am trying to install yambo on fedora desktop operating system. The configure script runs well. However, compilation does not go to completion. Instead, I get the following error message in the last few lines:

checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: in `/home/henryodhiambo/Applications/yambo-4.0.2-rev.90/lib/netcdf/netcdf-y4.1.3':
configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details
Makefile:35: recipe for target 'configure-stamp' failed
make[1]: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/henryodhiambo/Applications/yambo-4.0.2-rev.90/lib/netcdf'
Makefile:89: recipe for target 'libs' failed
make: *** [libs] Error 2

What could be the problem? Thank you.

Dear Henry

From what you posted the problem seems in the configure.
Can you upload the config.log so that we can see more precisely what is the problem?

Best,
Myrta

dear Henry

The configure process of Yambo was indeed successful. The configure that failed is probably that of the extra libraries needed by Yambo, possibly NETCDF.
For what I can see it seems related to missing C++ compiler. You can try to install it (using e.g. yum) and then try to compile yambo again.

Hope this helps,
Myrta

Hello,

yum install gcc-c++

It worked. Thank you.
