Error compiling github version of OpenMM

[Saurabh Belsare]

Hi Dr. Eastman,

I'm trying to compile the latest github version of OpenMM on a linux cluster and getting the following error on executing make

[ 97%] Creating OpenMM Python swig input files...

I've recompiled the latest doxygen, but am still seeing this error. What might be the fix for this?

Thank you.

What version of Python are you using? The flags argument has been there since 2.7.

Hi Dr. Eastman,

You're right. The problem was because I was running with python 2.6.6. I changed to python 2.7.9 and the make completed successfully.

Thank you.
