Hello,
After
STUBS/ -->make
cd ..
src/ --> make serial or make g++ or make ubuntu or ..

i get this error
`diff style_atom.h style_atom.tmp`: Ambiguous.

Why?

thanks

For the "Ambiguous" error:

Also, as of the 30 Jan 2010 patch, the need for the "tcsh" packaage should be no more! Make sure, if you're having build problems, to get the latest LAMMPS.

Also, I'm going to add a line to remind people to search the mail list for LAMMPS. Someone may have already asked your question!

Thank you very much, Yoshis! With your makefile I've got LAMMPS working in minutes

Thank you so much!

You may remember my post from yore (link)Try an example to verify it works
While sitting in the src directory, the first command should run the "crack" example in serial mode. If your computer supports it, the second command should utilize 2 cores and run faster. Remember, even if you compile using the parallel makefile, the first invocation will still work, and is the reason you don't need a separate binary for serial runs.

# change to the examples/crack directory
cd ../examples/crack
# for serial or parallel builds
../../lmp_ubuntu < in.crack
# for parallel builds only
mpiexec -np 2 ../../lmp_ubuntu < in.crack

Really useful guide, thanks. Would maybe just change this bit to

mpiexec -np 2 ../../src/lmp_ubuntu < in.crack

as I think lmp_ubuntu is created in src? obvious to most but just in case someone is trying to follow word for word

Hi Led Sama
I'm battling the same issues installing Lammps under 9.04 -- how did you solve the first problem of 'errors with linking the headers (*.h),' for ATC
many thanks

hi !
I am pretty stuck on this as well on unbuntu 9.10 can any one help me ?

Hello,

Just wondering if any of you fellow lammps users also use atomeye for visualization? I use it without problems on my mac but on ubuntu the window is always slightly transparent. Anyone else seen this or willing to try the binary for me to check it's not just me?

cheers,
Matt

Hi everyone,

I made a small guide of LAMMPS installation in ubuntu 9.04, i know that the debian machine is out of date, but i think it could be helpful for some of you.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/24500442/Guia-de-Instalacion-LAMMPS

PD: Is in spanish, sorry =P.

Enjoy =)

mathyou : Thank you for pointing out that error. Indeed, it doesn't give the correct relative path. Also, I tried using the latest Atomeye, and I find no transparency in the window. I am using Karmic.

Led Sama: Excellent guide! Spanish is not my native language, but I know enough to appreciate the usefulness and to follow it to get a more functioning LAMMPS installation than the instructions I have provided. Perhaps I shall use your guide to transcribe a new and updated guide that outlines more complete instructions for installation.
