Report Potential Configuration Problem of V7.4.1  [SOLVED]

Post by ljludwig » Fri Aug 23, 2013 5:36 am

Dear All:

I use the same configuration settings for 7.4.1 and 7.2.2. Both of them can make to the end. However, when running with 7.4.1, even a short input file as tutorial tbase1_1 will cause Segmentation Error. On the other hand, 7.2.2 works fine.

The configuration I used for v7.2.2 and 7.4.1 is :

./configure --prefix=/public/home/ludwig/software/abinit-7.2.2 --enable-64bit-flags=yes --enable-mpi=yes --enable-mpi-io=yes --with-mpi-prefix="/public/software/mpi/openmpi1.5.4-intel" --with-fft-flavor=fftw3 --with-fft-libs="-L/public/software/intel/Compiler/11.1/059/mkl/lib/em64t -Wl,--start-group -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -Wl,--end-group -lpthread" --with-linalg-flavor=mkl --with-linalg-libs="-L/public/software/intel/Compiler/11.1/059/mkl/lib/em64t -Wl,--start-group -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -Wl,--end-group -lpthread" --with-dft-flavor="atompaw+bigdft+libxc+wannier90"

for v7.4.1, even installing without any dft-flavor, it still does not work.

Is there any clue what might be going on here? btw, what might be worth mentioning is that there is some clock skew problem in BOTH situation, not sure whether this would affect. What's more, even in 7.2.2 version, the log file has some warning:
libibverbs: Warning: RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is 32768 bytes.
This will severely limit memory registrations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: There was an error initializing an OpenFabrics device.

Local host: manage1
Local device: mlx4_0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

But all the outputs(density, wavefunction) can be generated correctly.

Thank you for your time!

Hi,

the compiler intel 11.x is no longer supported for abinit 7.4 ( like gcc 4.1, gcc 4.2, gcc 4.3, pgi >= 8.x, ... )

you can use intel 13.0.1 or >= 13.1.2

regards
