Yambo Community Forum

Dear Sir
Greetings

Recently, i have tried the yambo installation on a cygwin based linux environment. first i did configuration using 1) ./configure command and next i have issued 2) make all. The complilation went on well except the yambo linking. I have serched the fouram for the possible clarification for this kind of errors and unable to find the same. I have attached the config.log file for your persual. This is the error message on the machine

Dear Venkat,
from your config.log file I can see you configured specifying a libxc path: and it looks that yambo has having problem linking with your xc libs.
After a make clean_all, reconfigure without specifying the libxc path: yambo will download the needed libraries and compile them.

Best,

Daniele
