Hi all, I am running into an error when trying to compile OpenMC. I can successfully run the ‘ **cmake …** ’ command per the install documentation, however, when I get to the ‘ **make** ’ command, I run into the following: _make[2]: \*\*\* [CMakeFiles/libopenmc.dir/src/bank.cpp.o] Error 1_ _make[1]: \*\*\* [CMakeFiles/libopenmc.dir/all] Error 2_ _make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2_ I checked the **/build/CMakeFiles/libopenmc.dir/** and do not see the ‘ **all** ’ file/dir. In the **/src** dir, there is no ‘ **bank.cpp.o** ’ file/dir either. I used git clone to get the root directory of OpenMC. Any help with this would be appreciated! Thank you. ---

@n0xn4me welcome to the community! Sorry to hear you’re having trouble compiling. Can you provide a little more information? To start with – what operating system are you on, and what compiler are you using? ---

Hi Paul, thanks for the quick response. Here are the steps I did: **git clone --recurse-submodules [GitHub - openmc-dev/openmc: OpenMC Monte Carlo Code](https://github.com/openmc-dev/openmc.git)** **cd openmc** **git checkout master** **mkdir build && cd build** **cmake …** (using cmake 3.16.2) **make** (this is where I run into the error) OS: RHEL 7.9 ---

@n0xn4me sorry for the delay. Were you ever able to get a build successfully working? If you’re able to post the full output from cmake/make, that might help narrow things down. ---
