I need help to fix a Quantum Espresso installation error in Linux

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on resolving an installation error encountered while setting up Quantum Espresso on Ubuntu. The user, a M.Sc physics student, faced issues during the 'make all' command despite a successful configuration. A key solution identified was to remove the space from the directory name, which was causing a bug in the installation script. This adjustment successfully resolved the error, allowing the user to proceed with their research project.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Linux command line operations
  • Familiarity with Ubuntu operating system
  • Knowledge of software installation procedures in Linux
  • Experience with Quantum Espresso or similar scientific software (optional but beneficial)
NEXT STEPS
  • Research common installation issues with Quantum Espresso on Ubuntu
  • Learn about troubleshooting compilation errors in Linux
  • Explore the use of environment variables in software installations
  • Investigate the dependencies required for Quantum Espresso and their installation
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, researchers using Quantum Espresso, and Linux users encountering installation challenges with scientific software.

TL;DR
i keep getting the same error on installation, can someone help me
I'm a M.Sc physics student and I need to use quantum espresso for my research project . I tried the same procedure I used to install it on the system at home as I did for the one at the College but i keep getting the same error . I can't find why . I'm also new to linux .
I'm using ubuntu and I have installed the other libraries. it shows that configure is successful but the make all command shows error.
i attached the terminal content in a text file. it would be really helpful if you could give some suggestions

I don't have any experience with the software you are installing, but it could help others (who know about this software) understand the issue better if you provided the following:
  1. What is the error you are getting?
  2. What is the "procedure"? You should mention the steps you followed for installation.
  3. Which "other libraries" are you referring to? Why do you think they might be related to this software and hampering the installation?
  4. Please put the contents of the text file directly in the post. You can paste the contents within [CODE] ... [/CODE] tags (without the dots in the middle).

It looks like a bug in the script is mangling the directory name, changing "Quantum Espresso" to " Espresso". Try removing the space from the name of the directory to work around it.

thank you for your help. I tried removing the space and that solved the error.
