Re: Errors while installing ESPResSO

[Jean-Noël Grad]

Hi,

Compilation errors will interrupt the generation of the Python bindings. 
You might still be able to import espressomd, but won't be able to 
import its submodules. Please also note the rocrand library is specific 
to AMD graphic cards; espresso compiled for AMD will not execute on an 
NVIDIA card.

To help us diagnostic your issue, please attach a copy of the 
compilation error to your email, as well as a copy of the CMake output, 
which contains information about your compiler and libraries, and the 
version of espresso you're compiling.

Best regards,
JN
