Re: Problem to install abinit-6.4.1
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.
For more details, you may read http://www.psi-k.org/newsletters/News_90/Highlight_90.pdf
Code: Select all
mkdir tmp && cd tmp && ../configure [put options here] && make
