OpenMx Installation
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?

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

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

I downloaded and unzipped and then:

rick@rick-H8DM3-2:~/Downloads$ cd OpenMx-oldstable
rick@rick-H8DM3-2:~/Downloads/OpenMx-oldstable$ make install
rm -rf build/*

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

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)"
