[DFTB-Plus-User] Cannot Compile dftb-plus!

[Ben Hourahine]

You've successfully compiled dftb+, the binary is in
/para3/dsong/src/prg_dftb/_obj_i686-linux-ifort/dftb+
and you can copy it from there. I'd suggest trying

make test

next.

The reason for the error is that your install path is probably
set to be the same place that the code is compiled. You can manually
copy the program or set the variable

INSTALLDIR =

in Makefile.user
