[SOLVED] installing abinit-6.4.1 parallel on top of serial

Hi all,
I am new to abinit program and linux, and I have installed abinit-6.4.1 in my computer as the root, in /usr/local dir.
Now I need to install the Parallel version of abinit.

So when installing the parallel version do I need to remove the currently installed version?
or can I just compile the parallel version?

I am using open suse 11.3

thanks

Just create and go to a new build dir in your source tree, and make sure to add the following option when configuring:

Code: Select all

--program-suffix="-mpi"

or whichever suffix you may find suitable.

When installing, to save some time, go to src/98_main/ and type "make install" from there. Your parallel binaries will appear in /usr/local/bin/, and you'll be able to use both serial and parallel versions.
