install itensor on Linux

Question

Hi,

I run into problems when installing itensor on Linux. Here is the error message after running the make file:
Configure: Writing current dir to this_dir.mk

Building ITensor library

Do you have any idea what went wrong?

I have the same problem also.

Thanks for the report. Yes, I think it was just that in a recent pull request the line:
#include <memory>
got removed from a file.

Please pull the latest version of ITensor (just updated) and let me know if it's still not compiling.

It works now. Thanks!
