Submitted by Yeasir Mohammad Akib on Sat, 06/11/2022 - 08:05

Hello. when I am trying to install LIGGGHTS, I am facing the following problem. Can anyone point out that what is going on?

lm_lab@slmlab-VirtualBox:~/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src$ make auto
Creating list of contact models completed.
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/slm_lab/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src/Obj_auto'

Hello,
before linking with python, you need to finish the normal liggghts install.
Please see my response in the other thread.
You can also try using cmake to build your executable. Please see (https://github.com/schrummy14/LIGGGHTS_Flexible_Fibers/blob/master/src/C...) for an updated cmake file that allows for superquadratics to be built. You will need to copy files into src to allow the python install file to work.
