Try building libmesh in a temporary build directory rather than directly in the source tree... that is, cd /path/to/github/checkout mkdir tmp_build cd tmp_build ../configure --prefix=/Users/sgu/softwares/libmesh-github/installed ... make (Note in the configure step, you run configure from the directory immediately above the build directory.) If everything succeeds, then try 'make check' to see if the examples will build and run. PS Forwarding this to the libmesh-devel list in case other people have suggestions/similar problems. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
