g++ error ..... /lib/libcontrib.a: No such file or directory SOLVED

[Luis Ridao]

Hi to all,

Thanks John and Johnoel for your answers.

I have my admb folder under ~/admb.

The permissions for the folder are OK (chmod 777 -R)

ADMB_HOME is set to: 

$ echo $ADMB_HOME

/home/luisr/admb

the result of 

$:~/admb/examples/admb/simple$ ~/admb/admb simple.tpl

*** Parse: simple.tpl

tpl2cpp simple || tpl2rem simple

Error: could not parse "simple.tpl".

/home/luisr/admb/admb: line 184: tpl2cpp: command not found

/home/luisr/admb/admb: line 184: tpl2rem: command not found

it's the same as $:~/admb/examples/admb/simple$ admb simple

And i don't seem to have the folder ~/admb/build/dist as Johnoel suggested:

The outcome of John are:

$:~/admb$ admb -h

Hi Luis,

Sorry for the delay.

Lets start again, use the procedure from

https://github.com/admb-project/admb/releases/download/admb-11.5/QuickStartUnixSource.html

Let me know which step it fails.

hi all,

Thanks to all for your helpful and prompt responses.

It seems that my admb installation is working again.

The problem was with $ADMB_HOME.

Although i have not seen it documented i set it to ~/admb/bin

and it just worked.

So thanks again to all and sorry for any inconvenience

best,

Luis

Just a quick note to say that this solution (setting ADMB_HOME to c:\admb\bin) worked for me to solve an error with my ADMB 12.1 installation on Windows (using either the self-extractor or the .zip procedures), in which running 'admb simple' couldn't find 'libadmb' .
