installation problem with gengetopt

Question

Dear Colleagues,

   I am trying to install opencarp on a linux cluster.

   I get this error after make setup

 * creating archive:  liblimpet

ar: creazione di liblimpet.opt.a

(cd ./src && gengetopt -iopts.ggo -l -ccc)

/usr/bin/sh: gengetopt: command not found

make[2]: *** [src/cmdline.cc] Errore 127

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/scacchi/openCARP/physics/limpet'

make[1]: *** [openCARP] Errore 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/scacchi/openCARP'

make: *** [setup] Errore 2

I have installed  gengetopt in my home.

It seems it looks for gengetopt in /usr/bin/sh

How can I link to my gengetopt installation?

Thank you.

With best regards,

          Simone

Hi!

"/usr/bin/sh" is the shell. The message

/usr/bin/sh: gengetopt: command not found

means that the shell could not find gengetopt in any folder defined in the PATH environment variable.

As such, please make sure the gengetopt binary folder is in your PATH variable. You can check this via the command "which gengetopt".

Cheers, Aurel
