ABINIT Discussion Forums

I have try to install ABINIT.
1) download, gunzip and untar the latest version of ABINIT
2) configure FC=ifort
3) make

I got the following error:

checking for /home/tpobu/abinit-6.0.2/plugins/netcdf/netcdf.mod... yes
checking for netcdf library... no
LDFLAGS was -L/home/tpobu/abinit-6.0.2/plugins/netcdf
Action: install NetCDF and set the library link path with --with-netcdf-ldflags.
configure: error: "No 'NetCDF' library found."

How do I get "NetCDF" library?

Dear Angelika,

Do you have installed "wget" ?
The configure file used that to download the netcdf
library and put it in your "user directory" in a hidden dir
called something like .abinit/tarballs/

If your internet connection fails sometimes,
you could find the link for the library if you search "wget" many times
in the configure file. Then you get this:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/n ... 6.3.tar.gz

and

http://wwwold.abinit.org/plugins/netcdf-3.6.3.tar.gz

and put this to the hidden dir I told you.

I recommed you to check for yourself the netcdf version,
because I got the link from the tar of abinit 5.8.4 version (now is 6.0.2).

Best regards

Keitel

The problem probably comes from BigDFT or ETSF_IO. You should try to configure with --disable-bigdft or --disable-etsf-io and see what happens.
