Dear Abolfazl,

Could you please post the output of:

nest-config --prefix
nest-config --datadir

Could it be that there is an issue due to using a space in a filename?

Kind regards,
Charl

Hello everyone,

I used the source code to install nest simulator 2.20 from here and did the following steps 
(I used to do the same steps for version 2.18 without error.)
 cmake -Dwith-python=3 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=</install/path> </path/to/NEST/src>
make 
make install
make installcheck

I got this error from "make installcheck":
