Re: [Libmesh-users] Problems building libMesh

[Nikhil V. <nik...@gm...>]

Yes, I am configuring and building libmesh without using the MOOSE script.

After reading your previous message, I decided to redo the procedure. Here
is what I did:
I created a directory called "build" inside the libmesh folder. I provided
the path of this  build directory as the --prefix argument for the
configure script. After the configure step, I entered the make command. I
now get the following error message:

../../tests/driver.C:4:29: fatal error: libmesh/libmesh.h: No such file or
directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [unit_tests_dbg-driver.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/moose/libmesh/build/tests'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

The file driver.C has a line : #include <libmesh/libmesh.h>

There is no file libmesh.h in the location libmesh/build/include/libmesh.
What am I doing wrong?

Best regards,
Nikhil
