Re: update my elmer 7.0 to 8.0, how to do it?

i continue my post as i got a new unknown bug!!!

I installed Elmer8 a while ago on my ubuntu 14.04 LTs... after a long time without using elmer... i tried to run a program and discovered that ElmerSolver was not responding at all.
ElmerGUI still responded and that's it.

So i deleted all the elmer folder in order to install it again following the cmake-gui procedure...

Once i finished configuring my cmake and typed "make -j4 install" ... the install stopped at 81% with the following message:
[ 81%] Building Fortran object fem/src/CMakeFiles/elmersolver.dir/Multigrid.F90.o

it seems that the 1st problem started with ElmerGUI ... and then stopped again when it was trying to install DiffuseconvectiveAnisotropic.F90.o ...

so any ideas?

Well , good morning, i still have not fixed the problem....
i removed "ElmerGUI" for installation with cmak-gui. and then i performed the install. this time, the install worked without any errors.Unfortunately, it is not working at all.
I called "ElmerSolver" as i was used to do it.
One of my CPU starts working at 100% but not process appears when i call "top" ???? and worst, i am not able to turn off my computer in a gently manner after that... because my computer wants to kill a ghost process...
Is anyone got this problem on hp elitebook with ubuntu 14.04 LTS?

end of this post!!!!

i finally decided to meet the it technicien (who is used to work with ubuntu).... after a long cleaning of old removed packages and more... the errors either "cannot fin -lGL" or "MPI aborts" message was not solved!
finally he fixed a problem of computer shutdown in the grub: he changed the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off" for "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" "
the funny things is... that both ElmerGUI and ElmerSolver worked after that without any problems??????

weird but i'm happy now!
