configure: error: npsol library not found

I'm trying to install the latest build for OpenMx 1.4. But I get an error:

checking for inst/npsol/linux/x86_64/gcc4.9/libnpsol.a... no
configure: error: npsol library not found

I had 1.3.2 installed. Then I installed 2.2.6, but decided I wanted to use 1.4. The installation attempt is shown below. How can I fix this?

can you try

See https://github.com/OpenMx/OpenMx/tree/oldstable

Do you know how to install this? You'll need to 'make install'

How to Proceed?

Hi. I'm familiar with compiling but not using github. Not sure how to download so I can compile.

look for the download zip button

You don't need to use git or subversion. There should be a "Download ZIP" button the right side. You can unpack that and 'make install'

version

That's good, but I thought that I bumped the version up to 1.5. I'll have to double check that before we tag this as released.

Is this version (1.4-1)

Is this version (1.4-1) usable? Is the build number the number after the dash? I am very confused. The reason I wanted to re-install OpenMx was to avoid the problem listed below:

IMPORTANT: if you are running R 3.1 AND your version of OpenMx is 1.3.2-xxxx or 1.4-xxxx, where xxxx is less than 3475, please re-install OpenMx and re-run any analyses you did with it in R 3.1. Version 3.1 of R introduced a small change in R's interface with compiled code that could potentially cause certain OpenMx scripts to compute numerically incorrect solutions. This problem was fixed as of revision number 3475.

This is the version of R:
$version.string
[1] "R version 3.1.1 (2014-07-10)"

confusing versions

You should be good. I based this version on the latest 1.4.

manual steps

Hopefully this is automated now.
