Fix for faulty path to ~abinit/config/wrappers

Post by jjramsey » Tue Mar 13, 2012 4:49 pm

I ran ./configure with the options --prefix=/usr/people/jjramsey/my_abinit_6_12_1 --enable-mpi --with-mpi-prefix=/usr/cta/unsupported/openmpi/gcc/4.4.1/openmpi-1.4.1, and the output from ./configure appeared sane enough. However, the output from running "make" was this:

Code: Select all

If I look at config.log in ~abinit/fallbacks/sources/libxc-1.1.0.1/, I see the following lines:

Code: Select all

configure:3544: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3566: config/wrappers/wrap-mpicc -g -O2  -I/usr/people/jjramsey/abinit-6.12.1/fallbacks/exports/include   conftest.c  >&5
./configure: line 3568: config/wrappers/wrap-mpicc: No such file or directory


Now ~abinit/config/wrappers/wrap-mpicc does exist, and it appears that the problem is that CPP is set to a relative path not an absolute one, so "make" tries to run ~abinit/fallbacks/sources/libxc-1.1.0.1/config/wrappers/wrap-mpicc instead of ~abinit/config/wrappers/wrap-mpicc, which of course fails. One can fix this by applying the following patch to the main ABINIT configure script:

Thank you for your report. This will be fixed in the upcoming version of Abinit.
