Dear Abinit users,
I would like to ask what does mean the configure: error: invalid library statement. I can see this error during the configuration of the Abinit with some static library (e.g. lapack or fft libs). I tried link the code with ACML static lapack library and I got this message. I solved this by using Intel MKL dynamic library. Now I am trying link code with external fft lib and I received this error message again and does not matter if it is dynamic or static library. I will be grateful for any help.

Re: Cannot configure Abinit v6.10.1
Would be great if you told us at least how you run configure ...

Re: Cannot configure Abinit v6.10.1
Thanks for answer.
I run configuration script: ./configure --with-dft-flavor="none" --with-trio-flavor="none".
I cannot upload entire file with my configuration settings. The extension is not allowed. So, my samples with lapack and fft follows:

# Flavor of linear algebra libraries to use (default is netlib)
#
# Supported libraries:
#
# * acml
# * asl
# * atlas
# * custom (just check, do not try to detect)
# * essl
# * goto (using GotoBLAS and Netlib's LAPACK)
# * mkl

# You may combine "scalapack" with any other flavor, using '+' as a

#
# Note: "custom" also works when the Fortran compiler provides a full
# BLAS+LAPACK implementation internally (e.g. Lahey Fortran)
#
# Note: the include and link flags for ScaLAPACK have to be specified
# with those of BLAS and LAPACK (see options below)

Re: Cannot configure Abinit v6.10.1
You have to specify the library flags as "-L/path/to/lib/dir -lname", as shown in the numerous examples you can find in doc/config/build-config.ac.

Re: Cannot configure Abinit v6.10.1
Thanks,
yes I had a wrong line (with_fft_libs="/opt/shared_libs/lib/libfftw3"). I changed it to "with_fft_libs="-L/opt/shared_libs/lib -lfftw3" and now the FFT libs are OK. However I thought that the style "-L/path/to/lib/dir -lname" is used to link dynamic libs not static. The ACML is static lib (with_linalg_libs="/opt/acml5.0.0/ifort64/lib/libacml.a"). I would like to know what to do if I want to make static link ACML and FFT libs.

Re: Cannot configure Abinit v6.10.1
Hi,
concerning the ACML lib, it is preferable to use the 4.4 version ( I tested the 5.0 but there are numerous errors with test suite )
rem :
I think that "-L/path/to/lib/dir -lname" is used to link static lib
it's equivalent to : /path/to/lib/dir/libname.a
but, in the final link, if the *.so libs also exist in the "/path/to/lib/dir/" , the link will be dynamic

Re: Cannot configure Abinit v6.10.1
Hi jmb and Yann,
many thanks for all your advices. I was playing with configuring/compiling/linking almost entire last day and now everything is alright including all tests (v1-v6). Thanks for advice about ACML libs, with the ACML 5.0.0 the several tests failed (four or five probably) during the automatic tests (make tests_min4). I switched to MKL intel libs and now all tests are OK.
