Installation Problem of ESyS

Asked by Mohammad Nurul Islam

Hi,
I am trying to install ESyS but getting error message as follows

nurul@ubuntu:~/esys-particle$ sh autogen.sh
ls: cannot access libltdl/*: No such file or directory
libtoolize: cannot list files in `/usr/share/libtool/libltdl'
configure.ac:23: warning: macro `AM_PATH_CPPUNIT' not found in library
configure.ac:160: required file `./ltmain.sh' not found

 libltd3l > installed
ltmain.sh >not installed

AM_PATH_CPPUNIT >to solve this issue I diid following measure

For autoconfig users, the line for configure.ac is AM_PATH_CPPUNIT(1.10.2).
The command for aclocal is aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal. To eliminate
the aclocal warning about an underquoted definition of AM_PATH_CPPUNIT,
edit /usr/src/local/cppunit.m4, changing line 4 from: AC_DEFUN(AM_PATH_CPPUNIT, to AC_DEFUN([AM_PATH_CPPUNIT],
***********************************************
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
*******************************************
error message as follows
E: gforge-mta-exim4: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

At present I am using Ubuntu 8.04.Any solution will be appreciable.

Thanks in advance.

Mohammad Nurul Islam

Hi Mohammad Nurul Islam,

Thanks for your interest in ESyS-Particle. I have successfully installed ESyS-Particle on Ubuntu-8.04 a couple times and haven't hit the problem above. Did you follow the instructions in the following FAQ?
https://answers.launchpad.net/esys-particle/+faq/261

Make sure you have installed all the dependent packages listed in step 2/. If this does not help, perhaps you could try a fresh installation using the ESyS-Particle_Ubuntu_8.04 LiveDVD? The DVD ISO image is available here:
ftp://ftp.esscc.uq.edu.au/pub/esys/ESyS-Particle-ubuntu-8.04.iso

Other download and installation options are described here:
https://shake200.esscc.uq.edu.au/twiki/bin/view/ESSCC/ESySParticleDownload

I hope this helps a bit. Given your error messages, I suspect your build environment is either incomplete or non-standard.

Please let me know if you have further problems.

Cheers,

Dion

Hi, Moha,

following this, I can install it smoothly on my debian:
https://answers.launchpad.net/esys-particle/+faq/261

but in here:
2/ install the following packages and all their dependencies:
sudo su
aptitude install build-essential autotools-dev autoconf libltdl3-dev libtool
aptitude install automake1.9 libcppunit-dev python-epydoc python-docutils
aptitude install libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin libvtk5-dev povray-3.6 povray-includes
aptitude install libboost-python-dev libboost-filesystem-dev subversion
exit

the line : aptitude install libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin libvtk5-dev povray-3.6 povray-includes
should change to
aptitude install openmpi-dev openmpi-bin libvtk5-dev povray-3.6 povray-includes

see: libopenmpi-dev --> openmpi-dev

Hi Mohammad,

I hope you got this resolved eventually. I had the same problem and errors with the autogen script, this is on a two-year-old Ubuntu 8.04 development machine so with a lot of the build environment already installed. Eventually resolved the issue by installing the libltdl3-dev package which had been left out of libtools somewhere along the line - once I did that the compile ran smoothly.

Regards,
Quinn
