ABINIT Discussion Forums

Dear all
I tried to compile abinit on a PS3 cluster (PowerPC cpu architectur) and i see this error

You have a problem with the build of the ETSF_IO library.
The simplest : disable etsf_io . See the installation notes
http://www.abinit.org/documentation/hel ... executable
and look into the recommended documents, in order to disable this plugin.

Best wishes,
X

Thanks
Abinit recompiles with this configure command
./configure --enable-mpi --enable-mpi-io --with-mpi-prefix=/usr/lib64/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc --disable-etsf-io
and I didnt see that error. but I see this one

do I have to use etsf-io with mpi ?

This has nothing to do with ETSF_IO, but comes from the implementation of MPI you're using. You should probably try with another implementation of MPI.

Hi
I tried with 3 different mpi implementations (mpich21.2.7p1,openmpi 1.41 ,openmpi 1.2.5) with ETSF_IO ,I see The error .

abinit installed easily on our intel xeon cluster but on PS3 ....

Then you may try to configure with --with-mpi-level=1. No guarantee that it will work, though.

I tried with --with-mpi-level=1 but no luck.
I see this link on the internet ( http://numerical-recipes.blogspot.com/2 ... ories.html )
but on new abinit( 5.8> ) there is no (A,I) on src/51_manage_mpi/scalapack.F90 file to change (actualy its (A,I6) )
