Topic: Problem with Ckit and Elixir!

Hi BP!

I downloaded 2 packages Ckit and Elixir from website (http://hogwarts.ucsd.edu/~pkrysl/software.html). After untar those packages, I tried to configure them by the command ./configure! however, I got some errors:
here is from  Elixir:

I don't know how to fix these errors! please help me!
One more question! once I fixed these errors successfully,wil this command work when I do the configure:
./configure OOFEM_TARGET=oofeg-release  --enable-oofeg  --with-CKITDIR=/home/thuongnm/program/Ckit  --with-ELIXIRDIR=/home/thuongnm/program/Elixir

thank you very much!

Re: Problem with Ckit and Elixir!

Hi,

first, I would like to make sure, that when configuring Ckit, you run configure script in src directory of Ckit installation directory (as described in Ckit README) and the same applies for Elixir.

Re: Problem with Ckit and Elixir!

hi! I run the configure.in in src directory! however, there is an error:

--------------------------------------------
thus I guess the error comes from the first line:
"dnl Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script."
then I comment out this line but still get error:
thuongnm@thuongnm-laptop:~/program/Elixir/src$ ./configure.in
./configure.in: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `./Ecfg.h.in'
./configure.in: line 2: `AC_INIT(./Ecfg.h.in)'
thuongnm@thuongnm-laptop:~/program/Elixir/src$

it happened the same with Ckit! I don't know why?

Re: Problem with Ckit and Elixir!

Hi,

do not run "configure.in", run "configure" instead! The configure.in is a source, from which configure script is generated.

Re: Problem with Ckit and Elixir!

hi BP!
Actually there is no configure file in both src directories of Ckit and Elixir. Then when I run the command ./configure it will be error "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory".
However there is one configure file at the directory Ckit and Elixir. Then I copy it from Ckit or Elixir directory to src directory, then run it, but it didn't work at all:
thuongnm@thuongnm-laptop:~/program/Ckit/src$ ./configure
configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in config ./config
-----------------------------------
I already downloaded both Ckit and Elixir again and untar it, however, in src directory, there is no configure file!  this file only in Ckit and Elixir directores, but when I run it, the error appears like the I showed you in the first question.

Is there something changes in those package I downloaded?

Re: Problem with Ckit and Elixir!

Stop entering the src-directories. Dont copy or move files related to the buildsystem.
Just enter respective directory (Elixir/ and Ckit/) and run ./configure

Now, there seems to be some issues, and a quick look at Elixir tells me that you should run the entire autotools series of commands, as done in the script "bootstrap".

Re: Problem with Ckit and Elixir!

Ok, something seems to be broken with packages from Peter. Could you please get Ckit and Elixir packages from oofem website. You need Elixir sources from oofem site anyway, as the original one from Peter Krysl is missing some features.
They can be downloaded from here: http://www.oofem.org/en/download/download.html

Start by unpacking Ckit (Elixir depends on it), unpack it and follow the instructions in README. Then apply the same procedure for Elixir.
