Hello.
At configuring Abinit 7.2.1 with the following config.ac

prefix="/opt/abinit-7.2.1"
enable_mpi="no"
enable_mpi_io="no"
with_mpi_prefix="/usr"
with_netcdf_incs="-I/usr/include"
with_netcdf_libs="-L/usr/lib -lnetcdf -lnetcdff"
with_fft_flavor="fftw3"
with_fft_incs="-I/usr/include/"
with_fft_libs="-L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -lfftw3 -lfftw3f"
with_linalg_flavor="atlas"
with_linalg_libs="-L/usr/lib -llapack -lf77blas -lcblas -latlas"
with_dft_flavor="atompaw+bigdft+libxc+wannier90"
enable_gw_dpc="yes"
enable_maintainer_checks="no"
enable_test_timeout="yes"
enable_gui_build="no"

turns out the next error:

Code: Select all

checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran compiler... yes
checking whether gfortran accepts -g... yes
checking whether to enable the LINALG fallback... no
checking whether to enable the FOX fallback... no
checking whether to enable the NETCDF fallback... no
checking whether to enable the ETSF_IO fallback... yes
checking for a source tarball of ETSF_IO... no
configure: downloading ETSF_IO - this may take a while
configure: downloading ETSF_IO - this may take a while
configure: error: could not download ETSF_IO fallback tarball
    Disable support for ETSF_IO or download the tarball manually to
    /home/serge/.abinit/tarballs
configure: error: ./configure failed for fallbacks

If who knows what is the matter, please give me the cue.

Thanks,
Serge.

Hi Serge,

Remove any occurence of etsf_io-* file in /home/serge/.abinit/tarballs/ and restart the process. Apparently, the etsf_io distribution file failed to download.
Tell me if it works.

Kind regards,

Alain

... then go for the emergency solution :-)

Start with a

Code: Select all

cd /home/serge/.abinit/tarballs

then

Code: Select all

wget http://forge.abinit.org/fallbacks/etsf_io-1.0.4.tar.gz

You should receive a 493239 bytes file. Check its checksum with

Code: Select all

md5sum etsf_io-1.0.4.tar.gz

md5sum should return 8994bc14b6958d3a4a6c4cf6d2e7c4b6 - you have md5sum installed on your system of course??? I just checked the repository - it works fine.
Then restart the configure process. If you're still in trouble, please attach the config.log file to your forum message.

Kind regards,

Alain

Thanks so much Alain to the problem resolved.

I'll take into account your way for the future to get through such situations if they will.

Configuring of Abinit didn't progress because of I hadn't performed updating the system.
As I did it the configuring passed okay.
