subprocess.CalledProcessError when building MEAM

Dear,

I am trying to build the MEAM package, and I get a Python error:

:src$ make -j1 lib-meam args="-m mpi"

Installing lib meam

Dear,

I am trying to build the MEAM package, and I get a Python error:

don’t even try to install MEAM. MEAM has been deprecated for a while.
install the USER-MEAMC package instead. it provides all functionality of MEAM and then some, is written in C++, not Fortran, and is faster, too.

same for REAX, BTW.

axel.

p.s.: there is not enough information below to provide any help, but for starters, i would try to compile LAMMPS with gcc/g++/gfortran before trying to compile with the intel compilers, as those keep changing flags and settings all the time and thus always require tweaking of Makefiles.
