Error occurs when trying to set a following symbolic link for LIGGGHTS

Submitted by z3490628 on Mon, 03/20/2017 - 16:59

Hi all,

I have some problems when trying to set a following symbolic link for LIGGGHTS as mentioned in the installation guideline. After running the "make fedora" command, I got "Obj_fedora" as a return in the /Home/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src directory instead of "lmp_fedora. Can anyone help me with this? Appreciated for your help.

I don't know exactly why this would happen but I know how it worked out for myself. If the Obj_fedora return is a folder instead of an executable file then that's normal. I believe the lmp_fedora file is created from the Obj_fedora folder. The only reason I can think of for lmp_fedora not being created is that the "make fedora" command returned an error. I'd say run it again and make a note of any errors it informs you of.

Hi,
The Obj_fedora return is seems to be a folder but I am still not able to find the lmp_fedora file. Attached with the interface after I have run the "make fedora" command.

Hi,

the lmp_fedora executable should be within your src folder, right where you compiled it.
You really can't find it there? What happens if you run "/home/josh/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src/lmp_fedora" ?

Cheers,
Josef

Hi Josef,

I have typed "/home/josh/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src/lmp_fedora" in the terminal. It returns with "bash: /home/josh/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src/lmp_fedora: No such file or directory".

Cheers,
Josh

Hi Josh,

please do the following steps:
cd /home/josh/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src
make clean-all
make -j 4 fedora |& tee ../compile.log
ls -al lmp* > ../lmpDircontents.txt
Please post the contents of /home/josh/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/compile.log and /home/josh/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/lmpDircontents.txt here.

Cheers,
