[DFTB-Plus-User] DFTB compiling error

[Alessandro Landi]

Dear all, 

I have recently downloaded the version 18.1 of DFTB+, in the path
/home/xelad/dftbplus-18.1 

However, when I try to compile (following the suggestions in INSTALL.rst
file), I get the following error after typing the command "make": 

mkdir -p /home/xelad/dftbplus-18.1/_build/external/fsockets
make -C /home/xelad/dftbplus-18.1/_build/external/fsockets \

Could you please help me understanding what I am doing wrong? 

Best regards,
