If you want to compile Enigensoft you should try using Eigensoft 4, which is available at:

http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/faculty/alkes-price/software/

At some point I’ll see if I can do a write up about how to compile it.

@Brian: thank you for your instructions for mac OSX: they helped me installing Eigensoft on Ubuntu 10.04 !

The trick consisting in changing FF to FF=gfortran -std=legacy and changing -lg2c to -lgfortran allowed me to compile the programs (I also had to install gfortran: sudo apt-get install gfortran)

@Edmund: That might be tough. I can give you some pointers. What OS and which version are you using?

Thanks for post, though not identical this helped me on OS X

for those trying to compile this on Max OS 10.6, I found this helpful, but needed to do the following instead:

download the gfortran package (for right os/xcode version) here:
http://r.research.att.com/tools/
in my case gfortran 4.2.4

then in the makefile I had to change
FF=gfortran -std=legacy (slightly different than here)

AND change all the linker refs from g2c to gfortran (wherever it says -lg2c in the makefile change it to -lgfortran)

then
make clean (or make clobber) to remove old garbage
make eigenstrat
make install

that seemed to work for me

@Ashiv are you installing on Windows 7, Ubuntu, or Debian?

If your on Ubuntu 10.04, it’s probably not going to work, see my previous comment:

I may test it at some point in the future.

I am using a windows 7 64 bit machine an also running linux ubuntu 10.04. I want to run EIGENSTRAT on it but when i type make pcatoy it gives me error could not find -lg2c. I tried installing it from debian but still not working. What should i do?

Hi Emily,

I think what happened it that the zip file comes with precompiled binaries for 64-bit Linux. U have to run “make clean” to remove, then recompile.

Cheers

Thank you so much! You have prevented my smashing an otherwise valuable computer.

Try running “make clean”.
