After everything configures i try to compile the latest version of Abinit, but i get the following error:

caxpy.f:0: error: bad value (native) for -march= switch

My configuration summary is as follows:

Code: Select all

Summary of important options:

  * C compiler      : gnu version 4.1
  * Fortran compiler: gnu version 4.1
  * architecture    : intel xeon (64 bits)

  * debugging       : yes
  * optimizations   : standard

  * OpenMP enabled  : no (collapse: ignored)
  * MPI    enabled  : no
  * MPI-IO enabled  : no
  * GPU    enabled  : no (flavor: none)

  * TRIO   flavor = none
  * TIMER  flavor = abinit (libs: ignored)
  * LINALG flavor = netlib-fallback (libs: ignored)
  * ALGO   flavor = none (libs: ignored)
  * FFT    flavor = none (libs: ignored)
  * MATH   flavor = none (libs: ignored)
  * DFT    flavor = none

Configuration complete.
You may now type "make" to build ABINIT.

Hi,

You are using GCC 4.1 which is not maintained anymore, which means that the compilation might not work and the results might not be correct.

According to your system, I would recommand first to upgrade to a more recent version of GCC, I would recommand GCC 4.7 at least, 4.8 and 4.9 would be even better. See for instance ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/.
If you don't want to compile a new compiler, you may look into your distribution packages what is available.

Once done, I would also suggest to use an other linear algebra library insteas of the abinit fallback, you check into your distribution packages whether there is lapack and blas or atlas, or since your are using an intel xeon cpu, you could download the intel compiler and the MKL library which as an optimized implementation of lapack and blas (and fftw3) for intel cpus.
See https://software.intel.com/en-us/non-commercial-software-development to download the latest intel and MKL library (if you decide to use the intel compiler, you don't need to intall the recent GCC compiler mentioned above). The installation is automatically done and does not require any compilation compared to installing the new GCC.

See abinit-7.8.2/doc/build/config-examples/bb_xeon-intel14_buda.ac or bb_xeon-intel14_tikal.ac for configuration files with intel14 and MKL.

Good luck

Jordan
