USER-MISC compiling issue

Dear Experts,

I have been trying to compile the USER-MISC after the installation,but compiling it seems didn’t go through, I couldn’t find it on my : lmp_<executable_name> -h ?
Since I am using a serial executable, then my guess is that I should have installed an MPI executable instead of serial, is that right ? or is there other issue behind this ?

Thanks in Advance
Sarah Lee.

Dear Experts,

I have been trying to compile the USER-MISC after the installation,but
compiling it seems didn't go through, I couldn't find it on my :
lmp_<executable_name> -h ?

the main issue here seems to be, that you don't seem to be able to
follow procedures given in the documentation in a systematic way and
describe your problems concisely.

you always claim, that you did everything you say, and then just come
up with statements of the kind "it didn't work", "unsuccessful
attempts", "didn't go through" without any proof or details of _how_
it didn't work, or in which way you determined it was unsuccessful and
what, if any, errors or warnings were produced in the process.

in addition, your guesses and assumptions, rarely make any sense. if
you have a working compilation environment, the following should
*always* work:

make clean-all
make no-all
make serial

that should give you an executable name lmp_serial which should be
capable to run a basic test like the bench/in.lj input.

to add support for most molecular force fields, you can then do:

make yes-molecule
make yes-class2
make yes-kspace
make yes-user-misc
make serial

and you should see the different in the output of lmp_serial -h before
and after.

you can always check the list of installed sources (!) with: make package-status

...and if you have a correctly working MPI library installed, you
should get a parallel executable for this with:

make mpi

resulting in an lmp_mpi excutable, which should have the same styles
included than your lmp_serial executable.

please be warned, that this is my last best effort. if you are not
going to change your ways and a) use a more systematic and consistent
approach to your compilation attempts and b) report any problems in a
way, that people can actually follow what you have been doing and
providing suitably detailed and concise descriptions of what has not
worked how, you may find that you won't get much more help beyond
this.

getting good help is something that requires cooperation and effort
from both sides. and so far you have already needlessly wasted a lot
of time and effort from people that volunteer their time. this is not
likely to continue much longer. people get tired of having to explain
the same thing over and over again, especially, since there is a
detailed description readily available in the LAMMPS manual.
