Greetings siesta experts,
I am a new siesta user and was trying to install siesta master branch with git 2.7.4. But during compilation I got the following error and don’t know how to proceed further. I cloned the siesta master branch from the gitlab with command “git clone https://gitlab.com/siesta-project/siesta.git”
I started the compilation with the following commands:
- I started from the Obj directory with command “…/Src/obj_setup.sh”
- gfortran.make is copied to the Obj folder
- cp gfortran.make arch.make
- make
Then after sometime the following error popped up on the screen.
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/bhanu/siesta/Obj/Serial/Libs’
gfortran -c -O2 -fPIC -ftree-vectorize /home/bhanu/siesta/Src/posix_calls.f90
SIESTA_VERSION = NO_VERSION_LABEL_AVAILABLE
ERROR: This version of SIESTA cannot be identified.
ERROR: Support for unidentified versions of SIESTA is unfeasible.
ERROR:
ERROR: We strongly recommend the use of official releases
ERROR: of SIESTA, which can be downloaded from

ERROR: Alternatively, you may clone the official SIESTA git

Makefile:454: recipe for target ‘/home/bhanu/siesta/Src/…/SIESTA.version’ failed
Any comment and suggestion on the solution will be highly appreciated.
With best regards,
