Bug 95869 – Ebuild Alps'lib

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: CONFIRMED ---

[Description Leo 2005-06-12 07:48:38 UTC]

Is it possible to add the ALPS'library to the portage tree?

"The ALPS project (Algorithms and Libraries for Physics Simulations) is an open
source effort aiming at providing high-end simulation codes for strongly
correlated quantum mechanical systems as well as C++ libraries for simplifying
the development of such code. ALPS strives to increase software reuse in the
physics community."

Since I am involved in this project, I will try to write the ebuild by myself,
but I'll be gled if someone can help me, I have no much time due to my phd project.

The category should be:
sci-physics

All the best,

Quite old, still wanted?

Although this request is ancient, there still might be people interested in ALPS, since a new major version (2.0.0) was released not so long ago.
I created an ebuild which supports all main features of the ALPS installation system apart from the installation for VisTrails. Also this ebuild has a fixed version of dev-libs/boost (1.45) as its dependency. The build system of ALPS is tricky and requires access to the sources of Boost during the compilation. Thus one has to add a link to a Boost source tarball into SRC_URI, a variable which is static in its nature.

Full make log

I could not get the ebuild to install. Here is the make error coming up.

Thanks a lot for writing the ebuild. Unfortunately I could not get it to install.
Here is the make error:

I would not be surprised if that was a bug in g++ triggered by heavy ALPS code. What gcc version are you using? Could you try to reproduce the problem with another version?
