Hey,
So I probably should have said before, I'm just trying to run the
examples that are given, I haven't started doing anything fancy yet.
I'm also running Ubuntu on a Virtual machine w/ VMware (if that
changes anything).
that is fine. it will make calculations slower, but for learning to use
LAMMPS it doesn't make a difference, since the tests are fast.
So I also noticed that whenever I run sudo make linux the list of
nooooooo!!! never use "sudo" without knowing why. this is a _very_
bad habit that both MacOS X and Ubuntu inflict on people. if make
linux doesn't work, adding sudo won't make it work better. an application
like LAMMPS is not a system program, so it doesn't require _any_
system privileges. using sudo carelessly can damage your installation!
things it can't find seems to get smaller by one (the last entry is
not there on the next try), it then stops on the error that it can't
find the last one. I also get the error /bin/sh icc: not found, and
the linux makefile is for a workstation with the intel icc compiler installed.
obviously, you don't have it. try "make g++3" instead. alternatively you
can try "make serial" but then you have to replace all "g++4" with "g++"
and compile the STUBS library (just cd into the directory and type "make").
noticed that /bin/sh is a shortcut to dash, not bash.
that is fine. dash is actually much more like how /bin/sh is supposed to be
than /bin/bash. bash has many extra features in addition.
Unfortunately the linux guy I'd be going to left early today, so if
this doesn't work I'll try again tommorrow.
this is really fairly basic stuff, so there may be others that can
help you, too.
this is no rocket science, but less and less people are accustomed to
compiling applications by themselves, so there is less "residual knowledge".
many, many moons ago, software was distributed almost exclusively as
sources since computers/workstations were often very different with different
architectures and different operating systems.
cheers,
axel.
