[DFTB-Plus-User] DFTB compiling error

Apparently, the libraries are not found by your linker. Make sure, you
set the proper -L options for the library paths when setting up the
LIB_LAPACK and ARPACK_LIBS make variables.

By the way, you should avoid to make symbolic links to libraries in your
system, as it may lead to unexpected side effects, but use the -L
options when linking instead.

Maybe, you should consult your local system administrator for some help
in getting DFTB+ run, as it does not seem a DFTB+ related problem. You
may also use the static binary from the web-site in the mean time.

  Best regards,

  Bálint
