ABINIT Discussion Forums

I'm having an issue compiling abinit 6.6.1 in parallel, and I was able to compile it ,but there are two errors during the step of make . I've been trying to sole it for a while and cannot seem to get anywhere with it.

I have run configure like so :

./configure --prefix="/data/gcy/abinit" --with-mpi-prefix="/export/mpi/" --enable-mpi

And MPI from the configure log :

checking whether MPI is usable... no
configure: WARNING: MPI support is broken!
configure: enabling MPI I/O support
checking whether to build MPI code... yes

checking for the requested timer support... abinit
checking for the actual timer support... abinit

When I run :

make

gfortran -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/incs -I../../src/incs -ffree-form -J/data/gcy/abinit-6.6.1/src/mods -O2 -mtune=native -march=native -mfpmath=sse -g -ffree-line-length-none -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -c -o m_build_info.o m_build_info.F90
../../config.h:575:2: error: #error "HAVE_MPI1 and HAVE_MPI2 are both undefined"
make[3]: *** [m_build_info.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/data/gcy/abinit-6.6.1/src/16_hideleave'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/data/gcy/abinit-6.6.1/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory

It failed because of two errors.

I'm not sure what the problem is ,and I don't know how I do . Has anyone seen this or can offer some advice?

Thanks for taking the time to read.

There is something wrong with your MPI implementation, otherwise the build system of Abinit would not report that it is not usable. The configuration step passes because you forced the build system to enable MPI support, and thus it considers that you know what you're doing.

To get more insight into your problem, you have to look at the config.log file. There is obviously a "failed program" that will give you useful hints about why MPI is not working.

In any case, please make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH is properly set. For details, see e.g.:

http://forum.abinit.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=963&p=3105&hilit=ld_library_path#p3105

Hi Pouillon:
I have rechecked the problem of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and make sure that it is ok, but the problem is still the same.
And this is my config.log file.

Hello,

First of all, LAM is no longer tested / supported

configure:8041: parsing command-line options
configure:9115: Initializing MPI support
configure:9119: looking for MPI in /export/mpi/lam/bin/
configure:9152: checking for a MPI C compiler
configure:9159: result: none found
configure:9166: checking for a MPI C++ compiler
configure:9176: result: none found
configure:9183: checking for a MPI Fortran compiler
configure:9190: result: none found
configure:9197: checking for a MPI runner
configure:9210: result: none found
configure:9563: GPU support disabled from command-line

configure tries to find mpicc and mpif90

What was there in the /export/mpi/lam/bin/ as "programs" ?

You should configure with:

but it's not possible to tell whether it will work, as LAM is not supported anymore. You might also have to force --with-mpi-level=1.

I also remind you that Abinit 6.6.3 contains many bugfixes wrt 6.6.1.

Pouillon：
Thanks very much. I install openmpi again and choose the abinit-6.8.1 and it does work now. Thanks again!
