ctffind & ctftilt

Hi,
I have been trying to install ctffind4.0.13 on both Mac OSx mavericks as well as linux ubuntu 12.10. Following the INSTALL configure command sudo ../configure FC=ifort F77=ifort I get the following error:
checking for Fortran 77 compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in `/usr/local/ctffind-4.0.13/build':
configure: error: Fortran 77 compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

log is attached

Is there some other way to configure?
Thank you,
Cheri

Hi Cheri,

The log file indicates that you do not have the Intel compiler availble on your machine. If that's the case, that's OK - you shouldn't need this necessarily.

I can see two solutions:

  1. Make sure the Intel fortran compiler is installed on your machine (this is not free)
  2. Try to build ctffind using the GNU compiler (which is free). The first thing to try in this case it to do "../configure" (without the FC=ifort F77=ifort) and see if that works.

I will need to update the INSTALL file in future releases. Thanks for your patience!

Let me know how that goes,
Alexis

Thanks, Alexis,

Running configure without the options did work.
