Hi! Bhupinder,

I was able to build on ubuntu 64 with the latest sources, starting from scratch.
This is what I did:

1) cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/cantera co
cantera

2) edit preconfig and
a) set CANTERA_CONFIG_PREFIX to my install dir
b) set USE_SUNDIALS to 'y' and SUNDIALS_HOME to the same install dir as 1)

3) donwload sundials2.3 and in the sundials2.3.0 dir
./configure --prefix=same install dir as 2a)
make
make install

4) in the cantera dir,
preconfig
make
make install

Everything builds fine.

Please note that Cantera user group has moved to google.
