Hi, I just tried building avogadro using avogadro-squared (https://github.com/cryos/avogadro-squared) on Kubuntu 9.10.
I cloned the repository, made a build dir and then ran cmake, with the following results: - The C compiler identification is GNU -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Downloading file at build time: libxml2-2.7.8.tar.gz -- Downloading file at build time: zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz -- Downloading file at build time: qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.2.tar.gz -- Looking for Q_WS_X11 -- Looking for Q_WS_X11 - found -- Looking for Q_WS_WIN -- Looking for Q_WS_WIN - not found. -- Looking for Q_WS_QWS -- Looking for Q_WS_QWS - not found. -- Looking for Q_WS_MAC -- Looking for Q_WS_MAC - not found. -- Found Qt-Version 4.6.2 (using /usr/bin/qmake) -- Looking for _POSIX_TIMERS -- Looking for _POSIX_TIMERS - found CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:694 (message): Could not extract tarball filename from url: http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz;URL_MD5;c735eab2d659a96e5a594c9e8541ad63 Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:941 (_ep_add_download_command) cmake/External_zlib.cmake:31 (ExternalProject_Add) CMakeLists.txt:30 (include) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! I looked in the top level CMakeLists.txt file and found the line: option(USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB "Should we use the system zlib?" OFF) So I changed that to ON, cleared out the build directory, and re-ran cmake, and this time got the error message: -- Looking for _POSIX_TIMERS - found -- Found ZLIB: /usr/lib/libz.so CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:694 (message): Could not extract tarball filename from url: ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.7.8.tar.gz;URL_MD5;8127a65e8c3b08856093099b52599c86 Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/ExternalProject.cmake:941 (_ep_add_download_command) cmake/External_libxml2.cmake:38 (ExternalProject_Add) CMakeLists.txt:41 (include) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! Is this a cmake bug, a bug in the cmake files, or a bug with me. ;) Thanks, Jens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
