Building the QIO package also builds LIME. The QIO package requires the QMP package, which must be built and installed first. If you like to build QIO in a separate, sibling build directory, create the build directory and then from that directory, run (for example) ../qio-1.1.6/configure \ --prefix=$HOME/scidac/qio \ CC=gcc \ CFLAGS="-O3" \ --with-qmp=$HOME/scidac/qmp \ --disable-qmp-route
