KIM API Package setup

Hi LAMMPS users

When I try to use the command 'make serial' or 'make mpi' in the src folder of LAMMPS, I get the error the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/calculate/lammps/src/Obj_serial'
Makefile.package.settings:5: ../../lib/reax/Makefile.lammps: No such file or directory

make: *** [serial] Error 2

and when I try the same in src/MAKE folder, I get the following:

make: *** No rule to make target `serial'. Stop.

I am following the steps as per the LAMMPS Documentation. Could someone kindly help me in this.?

​no, you did​ not. you installed a whole lot of packages which depend on
compiling/configuring auxiliary code in the lib folders, and the error
messages clear indicates, that you didn't do that.
please re-read the compilation instructions in the LAMMPS documentation,
but more thoroughly and with more care.

axel.
