*Subject:* Issues Encountered During WIEN2k Installation and Compilation

Dear Sir,

I am writing to report issues encountered during the installation and
configuration of WIEN2k on my system. My name is Sambita Dutta, and I am
working under Prof. Abhijit Biswas at the University of Calcutta.

During the installation process, I have encountered two major issues:

   1.

   *Error After Nearly 90% Compilation Completion*
   During the compilation phase of WIEN2k, the process progressed almost up
   to 90% completion in the site configuration step. However, it terminated
   unexpectedly with an error at that stage. This has halted the installation
   process, and I am unable to complete the compilation.

   I attempted to troubleshoot the issue by making a few changes in the
   setup. Specifically, I verified and updated the FFTW library paths by
   creating symbolic links to ensure they were correctly recognized by the
   system. I also checked the environment variables and compiler settings
   during the site configuration step. However, despite these modifications,
   the error still persisted and the compilation could not be completed
   successfully.

*Repeated “foreach: No match” Error While proceeding with the site
   configuration and compiler setup steps, the installation repeatedly throws
   the error: **“foreach: No match”*. This error appears multiple times
   during the configuration process and prevents further successful
   progression of the setup

I have been following the installation instructions and have also sought
assistance, but these issues persist despite multiple attempts.

I will be attaching the last few lines of both error outputs for your
reference to help in diagnosing the problem more accurately.

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve these issues.

Check file   compile.msg   in the corresponding SRC_* directory for the
compilation log and more info on any compilation problem.
