Installation issue

Simulation / Configuration Questions
1

Hello,

My question might be very basic. I am trying to install on HPC system and installed all the dependencies. While doing make I always get an error for eigen3 (Picture attached). Is there a way to make the installation look for another address instead of /homes/include/eigen3.

Thanks!

Hi Sweetu,

you can tell CMake where your Eigen3 installation is located by using

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<path/to/your/eigen3>

The Eigen3 installation should then contain their own “FindEigen3.cmake” script which sets up everything correctly.

Cheers,
Simon

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I was already using that:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=…/Install -DBUILD_ALL_MODULES=ON -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/homes/sanchitsharma/LCIO/Install;/homes/sanchitsharma/eigen3" …/source

Still there was this error.
Anyways, I will look into this.

Thanks!

Hi Sanchit,

that’s odd. Are you sure the version of Eigen3 you are using provides a CMake module? If I remember correctly this was not always the case. Check for the existence of

path/to/eigen3/share/eigen3/cmake/UseEigen3.cmake

Cheers,
Simon
