[nmag-users] Checkslow errors

[Mullins, Josiah]

Good Day,

 

    I was attempting to install nmag for the last few days and

having trouble. I finally was able to install the package, but when I ran

$ make checkslow.

However, the check revealed errors, but I am not a developer, so it is mainly giberish to me. As such any insight into the problem would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

    Josiah M. Mullins

Dear Josiah,

when I run ‘make check’ on a Ubuntu 14.04 system, I get this output:

fangohr@xubu1404:~/nmag-0.2.1$ make check

So you are right to say that something isn’t quite right with your installation.


From the error output you have sent around, it looks like writing and reading data from disk is a problem, in particular hdf5 reports issues, and some confusion about zlib is reported.

This may be the problem reported at http://nmag.soton.ac.uk/nmag/0.2/install/install_a.html#i-get-an-hdf5-diag-error-message-when-trying-to-run-an-example

You could try to follow the fix suggested there.


What linux distribution is this if I may ask?

Thanks,

Hans
