[edit] Change in cmake build

CMakeLists.txt is updated to abort cmake step if boost or hdf5 library cannot be found. These libraries are mandatory not optional.

If boost is not found, an error message below is issued

CMake Error: Require boost 1.33.x or higher. Set BOOST_HOME

If HDF5 is not found,

CMake Error: Require hdf5 1.6.4 or higher. Set HDF5_HOME

[edit] A branch opt-r2922-20080728 is created

svn copy http://cms.mcc.uiuc.edu/svn/qmcpack/trunk http://cms.mcc.uiuc.edu/svn/qmcpack/branches/opt-r2922-20080728

for a major refactoring of the QMCWaveFunctions. The primary goal is to complete energy optimizations (either Stochastic reconfigurations or Linear method). In addition, several changes are to be made

  • vectorize the optimizable variables using Optimize/VariableSet.h

These changes are already made to the trunk

  • implement cloning of the OrbitalBase objects
  • implement cloning via a ProxiOrbital

Branch r2837-20080717 is removed.
