Dear Sir,

I try installing LAMMPS by your instructions. Everything was Ok until 'make mint' command. During executing this command many messages is appeared such as

"fft3d.o: In function fft_3d': /home/viktor/Downloads/lammps-20Aug16/src/Obj_mint/../fft3d.cpp:145: undefined reference tofftw'"
fft3d.o: In function fft_3d_create_plan': /home/viktor/Downloads/lammps-20Aug16/src/Obj_mint/../fft3d.cpp:811: undefined reference tofftw_create_plan'
fft3d.o: In function fft_3d_destroy_plan': /home/viktor/Downloads/lammps-20Aug16/src/Obj_mint/../fft3d.cpp:977: undefined reference tofftw_destroy_plan'
fft3d.o: In function `fft_1d_only':

/home/viktor/Downloads/lammps-20Aug16/src/Obj_mint/../fft3d.cpp:1208: undefined reference to `fftw'

and then there are messages

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:89: recipe for target '../lmp_mint' failed
make[1]: *** [../lmp_mint] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/viktor/Downloads/lammps-20Aug16/src/Obj_mint'
Makefile:132: recipe for target 'mint' failed

make: *** [mint] Error 2

What is wrong? Why I can't build LAMMPS?

My computer is ASUS N56J with Intel Core i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz x 4,
operating system Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64-bit.

It appears lammps is trying to link to fftw3 and not fftw2, the line:
sudo -u $UserName sed -i -e 's/-DFFT_FFTW3/-DFFT_FFTW2/g' Makefile.mint
should text replace any instances of the compilation flag for fftw3 with fftw2. I would check the makefile and see if it is trying to link to fftw3 at
FFT_INC =

The ubuntu repo does have fftw3 but I haven't been able to successfully link lammps to it.
