Hello Sana,

configure: error: no Fortran compiler available


configure always tells you the truth ;)

Many linux distros split the gcc compiler suite into several packages and gfortran looks to be absent from your system. Furthermore - as mentioned earlier in the output - you probably have a rather outdated Suse installation with version 4.1 compilers - not suitable any more to compile Abinit 6 because they are very buggy (it's even written in the documentation).
I would suggest either to install recent Intel C and Fortran compilers - if you're eligible to use them - or build a new gcc/gfortran toolchain - version 4.4.4 from sources available at gcc.gnu.org. Have the new compilers location located early in your shell PATH - check that they are invoked before the original 4.1 version with a "gfortran -v" and "gcc -v" (or icc/ifort ...)
And if you want to do a test drive before all this compilation work, you can always try the ready-to-use 6.0.4 binaries available at http://www.etsf.eu/resources/software/e ... repository

Kind regards,

Alain

Another reason for compiler to seem absent is that you forgot configuring the $PATH variable of $HOME/.bashrc or $HOME/.cshrc
Consider appending such lines to $HOME/.bashrc
tail -3 $HOME/.bashrc

Code: Select all

source /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh intel64     # à la demande des compilateurs C et Fortran
. /opt/intel/bin/ifortvars.sh         intel64     # à la demande d'ABINIT /prog-abinit/abinit-6.8.1/configure
. /opt/intel/bin/iccvars.sh           intel64     # à la demande d'ABINIT /prog-abinit/abinit-6.8.1/configure

Hello sana,


configure: error: no Fortran compiler available

sometimes in linux fortran compiler is not installed. as you have mentioned you are using suse go to its package or CD and install fortran from it. and the supporting files you are mentioning are also available in the suse package.



with best wishes
