The ABINIT Users Mailing List ( CLOSED )

["Anglade Pierre-Matthieu" <anglade@gmail.com>]

Under ubuntu (8.04) I did :
$ apt-get install abinit
that's all what is needed but I did it only to check if I can get some
problem as you seemed to mention there are some.
An other (better) way is
$ apt-get install gfortran (or what ever the name of the package)
$ tar zxf abinit.tar.gz
$ cd abinit
$ mkdir tmp
$ cd tmp
$ ../configure FCFLAGS="-march=native -pipe -O2 -static"
$ make multi
$ cd tests
$ make tests_acc

I really recommend the latest because it allows performing all tests
and configuring Abinit to your will (parallel, netcdf, etc).

regards

PMA
