I followed the steps in the README and I am stuck installing Parsec. Here is the error I get:

make[2]: \*\*\* No rule to make target ‘…/parsec/data\_dist/matrix/parsec\_ptgpp’, needed by ‘parsec/data\_dist/matrix/diag\_band\_to\_rect.h’. Stop.  
make[1]: \*\*\* [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1735: parsec/data\_dist/matrix/CMakeFiles/parsec\_data\_matrix.dir/all] Error 2  
make: \*\*\* [Makefile:163: all] Error 2

I am using the stock make\_parsec.sh from src folder.

I solved it by installing missing libraries like bison, libgvc and cython indictaed by cmake errors. hope this helps someone.
