Issues with installing Liggghts

Submitted by Yukarra on Tue, 10/19/2021 - 13:04

So, as the title suggests i am struggling with the installation of Liggghts on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS version, i have tried multiple attempts at trying to get this to work but to no avail, the current error message is displayed within the terminal:

Makefile:461: *** 'Could not compile a simple MPI example. Test was done with MPI_INC="" and MPICXX="mpicxx"'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/dominic/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src/Obj_auto'
make: *** [Makefile:114: auto] Error 2

if anyone could please help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated (need this for my PhD research that i am undertaking), if you need any other information to help, just ask and ill reply asap with it, many thanks in advance.
