Installation on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Hi Guys

Has anyone had issues installing LIGGGHTS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS?

My installation seems to go okay however there is an error wit regard to vtk which prevents any simulation from running. Refer to the error below.

./lmp_auto: error while loading shared libraries: libvtkCommonCore-8.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried compiling vtk separately however the issue persists. Noting that I have done the same installation on the Raspberry Pi5 running Ubuntu without any issues.

Would it be easier to revert back to Ubuntu 20.4?
