What version of LAMMPS are you using?
The python dir in LAMMPS no longer uses (or provides)
a setup.py. This is b/c it no longer tries to "pre-install" LAMMPS
into your Python. Rather you just build LAMMPS as a shared
lib and load it into Python at run-time. The current
python/README explains the details.
I'm using LAMMPS 20 Apr 2012 (Liggghts last release).
I will see if I can still build it as a shared library directly .
what is the option to build that ?
But I need Liggghts extra functionnality for granular contacts...
I'll try to adapt it. You remember the changes that have been made for python coupling since April ?
Sorry to bother you with a not-totally-lammps-related question...
Yep, thanks very much. I did the changes today, it works nicely. I will propose the changes to the liggghts community.
Thanks again for your help steve,
Joris
