The ABINIT Users Mailing List ( CLOSED )

Hello Edouard,

Installing 5.8.4 is a good idea. The error message comes from the fact that the "patch" utility cannot be found on your system - very probably because it is not installed. From your logs, you appear to run a recent version of Ubuntu. To install patch, open the Synaptic Package Manager - provide your password - and search for patch. You'll receive a list of candidate packages; install the one with the description "Apply a diff file to an original", probably version 2.5.9. Now from a terminal, a which patch should show you the path to the executable.
Next ... back to abinit - reissue configure to enable missing plugins (I certify that abinit 5.8.4 compiles on a Ubuntu 9.04 box with original repositories provided tools, just done it a few days ago).

Kind regards,

Alain

I have tried to do it differently and a new problem occured...
I replaced all of the archives in the ./abinit/tarballs folder with ones I downloaded from the website.

Unfortunately I got a new error message, different from the original one.
Then I just tried to install Abinit 5.8.4 thinking I might work. When building Abinit 5.8.4, I had the same problem which is this one:
