Dear all

I have problem to install abinit-6.4.1
It configure well but when I make "*/*/makemake, this message appear:

Generating macros for the Autotools...make-macros-autotools: Error: M4 is too old-please install vl.4.8 or above
make-macros-autotools: Aborting now

I want a help please

I want to known in which directory i can take vl.4.8 to install in linux opensuse??

Kind Regards

You do not need to run makemake to build Abinit. Just uncompress the tarball and run the following:



The Autotools are needed only if you modify the source tree of Abinit, i.e. if you're developing. Most users don't even have to know what the Autotools are, since their use is fully transparent. In grief, you don't even need to install M4.
