ABINIT Discussion Forums

Dear all,
I´m trying to install the last version of Abinit on a linux machine, openSuse distro.

when I run the configure file it punch out this warning:
"
configure: using tarball repository /usr/users/davide/.abinit/tarballs
configure: WARNING: no 'patch' command available
configure: error: please install patch or disable BigDFT
"

but checking inside the configure file this should be already disable:
"
davide@olymp:~/Downloads/abinit-6.6.3> grep "enable_bigdft" configure
if test "${enable_bigdft}" != ""; then
enable_bigdft="no"
if test "${enable_bigdft}" = "yes"; then
if test "${enable_bigdft}" = "yes"; then
enable_bigdft="no"
enable_bigdft="no"
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: ${enable_bigdft}" >&5
$as_echo "${enable_bigdft}" >&6; }
"

So I´m confused

any suggestion?

If you're using Ubuntu Linux, this is as simple as:
