Some problems when compiling the elegant source

[BingLi]

Dear experts and users,

I try to install the elegant following the guide 'Guide to Installing SDDS and AOP Simulation Software on Linux Computers'. When I compiling the elegant source (step 7, cd /oag/apps/configure and type make), an error is following:

../configure/CONFIG_APPS:9: /configure/CONFIG: No such file or directory
../configure/RULES:3: /configure/RULES: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/configure/RULES'. Stop.

I think that the directory is wrong in the file CONFIG_APPS and RULES. So, I modify them.

Line 9 of CONFIG_APPS file in /oag/apps/configure
CONFIG=$(EPICS_BASE)/configure --> CONFIG=/epics/base/configure
line 3 of RULES file in /oag/apps/configure
include $(EPICS_BASE)/configure/RULES --> include /epics/base/configure/RULES

Then I type make, the error message is

perl /bin/linux-x86_64/makeMakefile.pl O.linux-x86_64 ../..
Can't open perl script "/bin/linux-x86_64/makeMakefile.pl": No such file or directory.

The system is CentOS Linux 7, x86_64. I am the new one to the Linux.
I don't how to solve this problem. Please help me!

Thanks!

I can get that exact error message if I don't have EPICS_BASE set in the RELEASE file. Make sure EPICS_BASE is set to the directory that you installed EPICS/Base

Thank you so much! The installation was done.

Hi soliday,

Today, I help my friend to install elegant. When I change the directory to oag/apps/src/elegant/sddsbrightness and type make,
an error (as follews):

Code: Select all

[bing@localhost sddsbrightness]$ make

How to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Type make in the oag/apps/src/xraylib directory to build the missing libxrl.a library.
