OpenMx Installation
Hi, I have a problem in installing OpenMX with R-2.11.0 and gcc 4.5.0 20100610 (prerelease) on ArchLinux with i686 architecture. The compilation interrupts because of the npsol library missing:

The same problem came also with the installation from svn.

How can I do?

Many thanks,

Ah. We have the rights to distribute the npsol binary, but not the source code. The OpenMx library includes versions of npsol compiled for each major revision of gcc. We haven't compiled npsol yet using the gcc 4.5 series. Any chance you could use a gcc 4.4.x compiler on that machine?

Try the following. Download the OpenMx source code using the directions from http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/wiki/howto-build-openmx-source-repository. Then create a directory in trunk\inst\npsol\linux\x86\gcc4.5 and then copy the contents from trunk\inst\npsol\linux\x86\gcc4.4 into this directory. Run "make install test" in the trunk directory and look for 0 errors reported.
