ABINIT Discussion Forums

Dear Abinit users
I m trying to install abinit in parallel with the help of following command

./configure --enable-64bit-flags="yes" --enable-mpi="yes" --with-mpi-prefix=/usr/lib64/mpich2/

I got following error when i type make mj4

checking whether the C++ compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/pussgrc/Downloads/abinit/abinit-7.0.5/fallbacks/sources/bigdft-1.7-dev.12/S_GPU':
configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
configure: error: ./configure failed for S_GPU

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pussgrc/Downloads/abinit/abinit-7.0.5/fallbacks'

config.log is attached with this message.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hmmm ... problems with bigdft blossom these days. Unfortunately, you're not providing the right config.log. Relevant info about what causes bigdft configure to choke should be in /home/pussgrc/Downloads/abinit/abinit-7.0.5/fallbacks/sources/bigdft-1.7-dev.12/config.log.
If you don't need bigdft functionality, disable it by adding --with-dft-flavor="atompaw+libxc+wannier90" to your configure options. Futhermore, I see in the attached config.log that you required to disable linalg; if the purpose is to fallback to the internal plain netlib, use --with-linalg-flavor="none" instead.

Kind regards,

Alain
