Re: [deal.II] Re: Deal.ii insttallation issues
Dear Professor Bangerth, Thank you very much for your reply. Removing all and redoing everything definitely did the trick. Everything seems to work now. I only did the following changes though I am not sure how useful they are: 1. I used tar xvf instead of gunzip & tar 2. while naming directory using home/projects/deal_installed was giving an error. Shifting to ~/projects.deal_installed had success Thank you so much everyone for your kind support.

[deal.II] Re: Deal.ii insttallation issues
Hi Bruno, Thanks for your reply. But the step: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/dir ../deal.II comes before the 'make' step, right? I am getting the issue while running the aforementioned command that wither the source directory does not contain CMakelist or the source directory does not exist. In the code sequence: 1. mkdir ~/dealii-9.1.1/build/ 2. cd ~/dealii-9.1.1/build/ 3. cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/dealii-9.1.1-installed/ ~/dealii-9.1.1/ 4. make -j 4 5. make install I get the error : "Make Error: The source directory "/home/malik/dealii-9.1.1" does not exist." in step 3 Any help is appreciated On Thursday, April 9, 2020 at 9:50:58 AM UTC-4, Bruno Turcksin wrote: > > Hi, > > To install deal.II, you need to first compile it using `make` which > probably happens in ~/projects/dealii-9.1.1/build and then it needs to be > installed using `make install`.

[deal.II] Re: Deal.ii insttallation issues
Malik, There is three different directories at play: 1. build directory (this is where you run cmake in) 2. the source directory (this is the deal.II download and contains CMakeLists.txt and source/ include/, etc.) 3. the install directory All three directories can be anything you want. For example I might use: 1. ~/dealii-9.1.1/build/ 2. ~/dealii-9.1.1/ 3. ~/dealii-9.1.1-installed/ In that case I would: mkdir ~/dealii-9.1.1/build/ cd ~/dealii-9.1.1/build/ cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/dealii-9.1.1-installed/ ~/dealii-9.1.1/ make -j 4 make install If that doesn't work for you, tell us exactly what command you run in which directory.

[deal.II] Re: Deal.ii insttallation issues
Hi, To install deal.II, you need to first compile it using `make` which probably happens in ~/projects/dealii-9.1.1/build and then it needs to be installed using `make install`. That second step should move the important files to /home/projects/deal.II It looks to me that you forgot this second step.
