nothing to be worried about ... it simply means that make install has no work to do in this directory

 do i need to disable plug-ins......or something else.??
 how to create the /opt directory.?

Nothing to do with the plugins. It means that you are not allowed as user kumarsonu to write to the /opt directories. If you do a "ls -la /opt" you'll see that it is only owned by root..

solution 1 ... "sudo root" and then  "make install" to gain sufficient privileges to write to /opt
solution 2 ... configure abinit with --prefix= to choose where to install the applications i.e. something like "configure --prefix=/home/kumarsonu/xxx" before make ... yes, reading the documentation before compiling may sometimes spare time.
solution 3 ... <dirty trick flag> "sudo root" then "mkdir /opt/etsf" as root, change /opt/etsf owner to kumarsonu with a "chown kumarsonu /opt/etsf", "exit" to user kumarsonu and now "make install" as kumarsonu.</dirty trick flag>
solution 4 ... <lazy man flag> all abinit binaries are in /home/kumarsonu/Desktop/DESKTOP/abinit-5.8.4/src/98_main; copy them where you would like to. But you'll miss the good stuff in ./doc and ./tests (but you can recover it easily for example from one of the installation packages in http://www.etsf.eu/resources/software/etsf_software_repository#emABINITem).</lazy man flag>
solution 5 ... hmmm ... maybe the abinit build system guru will pop up with a clean way to override the default installation choice during a make install

Kind regards,


Alain

If it says OK ... then it's OK :-)

It depends on the the performance of your linux system ... it is a short
tests set, it doesn't take long

from the directory you made configure and make, "ls -la src/98_main" and
you should see the binaries - abinis, cut3d, anaddb, ...
If you invoke a "make install", you'll have the binaries, docs and tests
installed - in /opt as you didn't specify a --prefix= during the
configuration step.

Kind regards,

Alain
