Yambo Community Forum

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 Daniele,

Please find attached the file you asked me for,

Best,

Karim

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 Davide,

Thank you


Best,

Karim

Dear Daniel

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

Try to do
make clean_all

Then run again the configure and compile.

Dear Davide,

Thank you


Best,

kazem
