"configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH"

Please i want a help to install well abinit 5.7.4

Hello,

The error message is quite clear. The configure script does not find the C compiler in your path. You should specify it by yourself if it is in a non-standard location ...
Moreover, version 5.7.4 is quite an old version (released more than one year ago), we are now at the 6.4.1. You should consider switching to this one.

Dear all
I try to install 5.7.4 on abinit-linus opensuse.

config.status: error: can not find input file: plugins/xmlf90/build.mk.in

I need help

dear all
It configure well but when I make the "make" command, it's no install.
i want help

Hello Bernard,

It's not really clear for me where's your problem.
A plain configuration/compilation/test/installation routine for Abinit looks like



to have the binaries installed in InstallationPath/bin directory (AbinitRootPath being the root of the source tree). And during the first "make", the binaries are build in AbinitRootPath/tmp-build/src/98_main/ directory; the "make install" will - among other things - copy them in the InstallationPath/bin directory.

Kind regards,

Alain

Bernard,

makemake complains about an rather old version of the M4 macro processor - you should install a recent verson for example the one available from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/ Then I'm afraid that your system autoconf tools are also quite outdated and makemake may complain about this. Anyway, check your M4 version with a
Depending on your OS, you may try to update the M4 package or even try to replace it with the M4 coming with a more recent release of your Linux distribution. Another workaround would be to copy your Abinit source tree to another computer with a recent Linux that satisfies the dependencies, run makemake and if successful, move your source back to your original system if you want it compiled on that particular system.

Dear alain_Jacques

Thank you for your answer. I thing that i want to install abinit-6.4.1

Now can i how can i install m4-1.4.15.tar in linux openuse


Kind regards

hello Bernard,

OK ... solution 1, read the documentation - guess what, it's in the included INSTALL file

Solution 2 ... open a terminal, cd where the m4-1.4.15.tar.gz file lives then
So the new m4 is now in /usr/local/m4/bin and should be invoked instead of the stock m4 being early in the PATH - check with
And then back to Abinit - good luck for the rest.

Kind regards,

Alain

Please note that neither M4 nor the Autotools are necessary to build Abinit. And the makemake script should be used only by the developers. End-users don't even have to know what the Autotools are.

Dear all.

Just to said thanks for yours answers.

I think that my installation would success.
