By looking at the error message, I tried to understand what's wrong. In fact, it appears that at line 4026 the program wants to crate a file (using fopen) called Make.Linux_sse2/_static, where no Make.Linux_sse2 directory exists, so it obviously fails.
After creating the Make.Linux_sse2 directory by hand, I launched the building again, and in fact the problem disappears. However, a new one stops the building immediately after, with the error messages below. This time I cannot understand why ever it fails creating the file in the CONFIG directory. I would find it out using a debugger, but I do not know if I will find the time to do that. ================================================================ Creating ATLrun.sh xconfig: config.c:4262: GoToTown: Assertion `fpout' failed. make[1]: *** [config] Aborted (core dumped) make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/atlas_3.6.0' spawn_id: spawn id exp6 not open while executing "close" invoked from within "expect -re "ready to continue?" {send "\n" ; exp_continue} \ "Enter number at top left of screen" {send "\n" ; exp_continue} \ "ENTER TO CONTINUE" {..."
