Hi!

I just installed v1.9.7, and when I tried to install a model, I get the following error. Am I doing something wrong?

`
$ kim-api-v1-collections-management install system --sudo EDIP_BOP_Bazant_Kaxiras_Si__MO_958932894036_001

Hello Vishnu,

I'm not sure what is happening there. I just checked this and it seems to be working fine for me. Can you detail exactly the steps you have taken to build and install kim-api-v1.9.7?

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I used the ‘make’ method (since the pre-v2 doesn’t seem to use cmake), and did the following:

./configure --prefix="/usr" --libexecdir="lib" make make install

Hi Vishnu,

Try using:

./configure --prefix="/usr" --libexecdir="/usr/lib"

instead.

That still gives me the same error. But no worries, turns out LAMMPS is building in support for the v2 API, and that version works fine for me, so I think I will just wait.

Thanks for your time!

OK,

Sounds good.
