I expected that it should point to just the base path.
Yes, it is documented in the installation manual. There is no standard behavior for the arguments of --with flags in autoconf ... it's all ad hoc, because different programs use --with flags for quite different kinds of options. If by the "base path" you mean /usr/local, that is not sufficient because it is perfectly possible to install libctl (or any other program) with completely different directories for executables, libraries, header files, and data by using the standard --bindir, -- libdir, --includedir, and --datadir installation-prefix options to configure. The standard in configure scripts is to specify include directories with CPPFLAGS and library directories with LDFLAGS. Hence, only the data installtion directory of libctl need be specified. > > L/scratch/lib -L/usr/lib" CFLAGS="-I/scratch/include -I/usr/include" Note that you shouldn't be putting -I flags in CFLAGS; they only belong in CPPFLAGS (the preprocessor flags, which are used for both C and C++ compilation in addition to the compiler flags CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, respectively). > h5file.cpp: In function `bool dataset_exists(hid_t, const char*)': > h5file.cpp:97: error: invalid conversion from `herr_t (**)(hid_t, > void*)' to `hid_t' > h5file.cpp:97: error: invalid conversion from `void**' to `herr_t > (**)(hid_t, void*)' This has been noted on the list before. The problem is that HDF5 changed their API in version 1.8 in a way that breaks programs using the old API. The workaround is, when you are compiling Meep, include - DH5_USE_16_API=1 in the CPPFLAGS. I've added a note about this to the Meep manual.
