[QE-users] unexpected compilation error QE 6.8

[Giuseppe Mattioli]

Dear all
After a successful ./configure, I'm facing a "new" problem in the  
compilation of QE 6.8. make tries to find and download some external  
libraries, but the machine is not connected to internet and it fails.  
I've also tried to download the devicexlib-master.tar.gz archive and  
to put it manually in the /opt/local/QE/6.8/external/devxlib  
directory, but it doesn't change a thing.

cd install ; make -f extlibs_makefile libcuda
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/local/QE/6.8/install'
cd ../external/devxlib; \
     if test ! -e configure; then \
     wget  
"https://gitlab.com/max-centre/components/devicexlib/-/archive/master/devicexlib-master.tar.gz" -O devxlib.tar.gz || curl "https://gitlab.com/max-centre/components/devicexlib/-/archive/master/devicexlib-master.tar.gz" -o devxlib.tar.gz ;  
\
     tar xzf devxlib.tar.gz --strip-components=1 -C . ; \
     rm devxlib.tar.gz ; \
     fi; \
     touch make.inc; \
     make clean; \
     export F90FLAGS=""; \
     ./configure FC=gfortran CC=cc \
                 --with-cuda=no \
                 --with-cuda-cc= \
                 --with-cuda-runtime= \
                 --disable-parallel \
                 --enable-cuda-env-check=no; \
     make all

Any suggestion?
