Installing KIM package in LAMMPS

[Yonatan Kurniawan]

Dear all,

I am trying to install KIM package with my LAMMPS. I have installed kim api v2.0.0.beta3 and wished to use that version. When I tried to install the package, I got the following message.

~/lammps/src$ make yes-kim

Installing package kim

~/lammps/src$ make lib-kim args="-p /usr/local/lib/kim-api-v2"

Installing lib kim

Created /home/yonatank/lammps/lib/kim/Makefile.KIM_DIR

  using /usr/local/lib/kim-api-v2

~/lammps/src$ make serial

Makefile:176: recipe for target 'serial' failed

make: *** [serial] Error 2

Please help me with this problem.

Thank you.

Hello Yonatan,

For the moment you will need to use this git repo/branch

https://github.com/ellio167/lammps/tree/kim-v2-update

to obtain a version of LAMMPS that is fully compatible with
kim-api-v2-2.0.0.beta3

We expect to have the offical kim-api-v2-2.0.0 release and support for it
merged into LAMMPS very soon. We are shooting for early Feburary.

Cheers,

Hi, Ryan.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried to install kim package using that version of lammps and I still got the following:

yonatank@Yonatank-laptop:~/lammps/src$ make yes-kim

Installing package kim

yonatank@Yonatank-laptop:~/lammps/src$ make serial

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/yonatank/lammps/src'

Makefile:176: recipe for target 'serial' failed

make: *** [serial] Error 2

Is there anything I should change or check before installing the package?

Thanks.

Hello,

Assuming that you have installed the kim-api-v2-2.0.0-beta.3 package in the
default prefix, "/usr/local", then you will need to do something like this
