Hi,
I just tried compiling Xyce on debian as per instructions in the official page, and configure step is failing. I have trilinos-all-dev 12.10 from the debian repo installed. Below is snipped configure output:
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... (cached) /bin/grep
checking whether your C++ compiler is the DEC compiler... no
checking whether your C++ compiler is the Intel compiler version less than 12... no

There is not enough information here to give you a solid answer --- the console output of configure is almost useless for diagnosing problems like this.
The error you're reporting is almost always the result of some sort of failure of configure to link a small test program with the Trilinos teuchoscore library -- it doesn't *really* mean that it can't find the teuchoscore library, only that it couldn't link with it.
There are many reasons that this might happen, and the actual reason yours is failing will be found in the "config.log" file that configure creates as it works. Without seeing that file, there is no way to give anything but general advice.
The simplest error that can cause this problem is a typo in specifying "ARCHDIR" to configure --- so we'll just go ahead and assume that one isn't the case here. That error really *would* mean that configure can't fine the teuchoscore library.
The next most common reason for this to happen is that you've got a mismatch in C++ standard being used for building Xyce vs. for building Trilinos. Starting with Trilinos 12, Trilinos will attempt to build with the C++11 standard if your compiler supports it and you haven't told it not to. If Trilinos builds with C++11, you must also build Xyce with C++11 enabled. This is described in the building guide. If this is what's going on, you will find in config.log error messages relating to unknown C++11 functions when it is trying to link against teuchoscore.
There are many other reasons that this error can show up, almost none of them being "the teuchoscore library doesn't exist" --- it's pretty much always a problem with setting up your configure line so that small test programs can be linked to teuchoscore. And the only way to know for sure what's wrong is to study the error messages in config.log.

Thanks for your response. I find quite a lot of errors in the

I did not explicitly change the ARCHDIR, this should be automatically

I set the environment variable (export CXXFLAGS="-std=c++11") before

running ./configure. Is that sufficient ?
How do I know whether trilinos libraries from the debian repos were
compiled with C++11 itself ?

able to find the library:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lteuchoscore
ldconfig -v | grep teucho gives the below output [snipped]:
libtrilinos_teuchosparameterlist.so.12 ->
libtrilinos_teuchosparameterlist.so.12.10.1
libtrilinos_teuchoskokkoscompat.so.12 ->
libtrilinos_teuchoskokkoscompat.so.12.10.1
libtrilinos_teuchoskokkoscomm.so.12 ->
libtrilinos_teuchoskokkoscomm.so.12.10.1
libtrilinos_teuchosremainder.so.12 ->
libtrilinos_teuchosremainder.so.12.10.1
libtrilinos_teuchosnumerics.so.12 -> libtrilinos_teuchosnumerics.so.12.10.1
libtrilinos_teuchoscore.so.12 -> libtrilinos_teuchoscore.so.12.10.1
libtrilinos_teuchoscomm.so.12 -> libtrilinos_teuchoscomm.so.12.10.1
These files are in the folder /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Could you
please suggest how to include this into the configuration options ?

You appear to be trying to use a version of Trilinos from a Debian repository. We cannot help you with that.
As it states in the building guide:
Note that at this time no system provides packages for versions of Trilinos compatible with Xyce, so it will always need to be built from source. While some systems do provide packages for Trilinos in package management systems, these versions are either too old to be used or not configured to have all the essential package options required by Xyce, and we do not recommend using them even if you happen to find one for your system.
You will need to build Trilinos from source as described in the building guide: https://xyce.sandia.gov/documentation/BuildingGuide.html
