Hello The last couple of days I've been struggling with a Cygwin installation of MPB. The problem was that I also installed Octave from the Cygwin repository and this involved installing newer versions of the FFTW libraries and HDF5 support. The problem is that MPB has not been updated to this new releases and a nasty warning message appears and terminates the program. Took my weekend but I managed it. Nonetheless, I also checked when the last realease of MPB was made and I saw it was in 2002. I think MPB is a good choice as is. But easing the installation and other issues would be very nice. A C++ port like the one that MEEP has would be great and I think I saw somewhere in the documentation that using other methods/libraries such as ARPACK could improve the performance. But my question is, are you planning something on mantaining this package updated? And if so, are you interested in taking volunteers? I'll be glad to help on that one, because MPB has been of great use to me.
Best regards. _______________________________________________ mpb-discuss mailing list mpb-discuss@ab-initio.mit.edu http://ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mpb-discuss
