ABINIT Discussion Forums

I'm in the middle of building abinit for SMP (make mj4). So far, all of the code seems to be compiling and building successfully. However, my build is stopped while trying to build cluster.tex inside of the bigdft fallback. The error is

Package color Error: No driver specified.

1. Is there an obvious way to avoid building the manuals, as I can presumably download those from your site?

2. Failing that, have you seen this error before, and can you give me some guidance?

Thanks,

Art Edwards

Hi Art,

R1 ... no obvious way: fallbacks are somewhat designed as "take them as they are or do it yourself but your're on your own"
R2 ... you don't provide any details about your particular system so it's very hard to give pertinent advices. I'm aware of difficulties related to the disappearance of the color.sty file on Debian based system during the migration of tetex distribution to texlive distribution (a process that many Linux variants did a couple of years ago when tetex was considered as obsolete). You'll probably find more info in the bug reports of your distro. Maybe first look for that particular file ... on my system color.sty is located in .../latex/graphics directory. Most of the time, the "solution" was to use apt-get to reinstall the whole texlive environment.

Kind regards,

Alain

Alain:

Thanks for your reply. I am compiling on a Scientific Linux machine. It doesn't use texlive. The problem was that I wasn't pointing at /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config, where color.cfg resides. My problem is now this:

Any guidance would be appreciated. I can supply other details.

Thanks,

OK, so you can mark this SOLVED. Again, I wasn't pointing at enough in TEXINPUTS. Sorry to take your time, but your initial post set me in the right direction.


Thanks,
Art Edwards

Glad it helped ... even if it is a side effect
