[DFTB-Plus-User] problem with installation

[Ben Hourahine]

Hello Farzad,

do you need excited state calculations? If not disable WITH_ARPACK := 0
in make.config.

Otherwise, you can compile arpack yourself, then (if its a static .a
file) tell the DFTB+ build to use its location in make.arch :

ARPACK_LIBS =  -L/your/path/to/library -larpack

if its a dynamic arpack build (.so) you need to also include its
location in your LDPATH variable (and keep the library, as it will load
every time you run).

Regards

Ben
