Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I think my question might have a little in common with this old thread entitled "Problem with building SuperLU bindings":

problem-with-build ... 39548.html

(please forgive me if I'm way off)

I'm having a hard time trying to install SuperLU v 3.1 on Ubuntu 8.10

There are 3 pre-installation steps specified

1) I modified the make.inc for linux
2) I made no modification for the BLAS
3) I tried them all (-DNoChange, -DAdd_, -DAdd__, or -DUpCase) with same result each time

This is a two step error:

1) upon first build (by using the command "make") the error is:

...
csh install.csh
make[1]: *** [install.out] Error 9
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alexander/SuperLU_3.1/INSTALL'
make: *** [install] Error 2

Now I made sure c shell was installed, i've even un-installed and re-installed

2) AFTER the above error appears on the terminal, I then use the "make" again (kind off like ignoring the first error) it then gets past the error in 1) and gives me:

...
ar: /home/alexander/Release_Codes/SuperLU_3.1/lib/libsuperlu_3.1.a: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [single] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alexander/SuperLU_3.1/SRC'
make: *** [superlulib] Error 2


any ideas?

I don't know about the first failure, but the second is related to a setting in your make.inc file. Look at the SuperLUroot variable in that file. Remove the "Release_Codes" portion of the path and you should be good to go.
