So I am following the instructions on this site, https://qiskit.org/documentation/stubs/qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.nlopts.html#module-qiskit.algorithms.optimizers.nlopts
However, I am able to run this command
./configure --enable-shared --with-python
As there is no file nor repository named with configure. I have qiskit and installed NLopt already. It will be great if anyone can help me with that ><
I expect to be able to follow the instruction and run NLopt on my qiskit code
This is my current situation:
nlopt-2.7.1 % ./configure --enable-shared --with-python
zsh: no such file or directory: ./configure
The docs above also include a link to nlopt's installation instructions. You should be able to follow things from there to install it to your Python environment that you are using with Qiskit. As you can see from the nlopt version listed there the instructions were written some time ago given the version shown there and it seems the installation overview given there may be outdated given the latest nlopt version.
BUT... from checking it now seems to be on PyPi so doing a pip install nlopt
should do it - it was not available via PyPi when the instructions were written.
FYI:: As it seems the instructions need to be reviewed I created this issue to have the instructions revised https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-terra/issues/9011
