Hi,

I am trying to build NEST on debian 11 with cmake 3.16.9 and conda python=3.9. I have attached my installation script asswell as the full logs for make and install steps. ( I run the script with using source to conda activate will play nice)

During "make install" I get the following message error

-- Set runtime path of "/home/mikael/git/bgmodel/nest/dist/install/nest-simulator-3.3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/nest/pynestkernel.so" to "$ORIGIN/../lib/nest:$ORIGIN/../../lib/nest:$ORIGIN/../../../nest:/home/mikael/opt/anaconda3/envs/nest-3.3/lib"

And for make installcheck i get this error

Scanning dependencies of target installcheck
Executing NEST's testsuite...
make[3]: *** [CMakeFiles/installcheck.dir/build.make:61: CMakeFiles/installcheck] Error 1

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:531: CMakeFiles/installcheck.dir/rule] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:178: installcheck] Error 2
It took 160 seconds

Anyone who knows how to solve this?
