checking if Fortran "real" is C "float"... configure: error

annacegu · Post by **annacegu** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 5:16 am

Hi,

I am on a MacBook Pro, with OS X 10.7 lion.

I am trying to compile abinit using gcc/g++/gfortran 4.5.3, installed from macports. I was not able to install gcc 4.6 due to a bug in the apple linker.

I am getting the following error while netCDF is configuring:

Code: Select all

checking if Fortran "real" is C "float"... configure: error: Could not compile conftest.c

Your help would be very much appreciated - if you need further details please let me know.

Regards,
Anna.

Hello,

I am getting the following error while netCDF is configuring:
checking if Fortran "real" is C "float"... configure: error: Could not compile conftest.c

we need the 'plugins/netcdf/netcdf-4.1.1/config.log' file to understand the problem

another solution :

there is a port for netcdf 4.1.3 ( variant gcc 4.5 ) ( http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=netcdf )

and you can use these two options in the configure :

Code: Select all

with_netcdf_libs = -L/opt/local/netcdf/lib -lnetcdf
with_netcdf_incs = -I/opt/local/netcdf/include

( to verify the location of the installation of netcdf library )

regards
jmb

Hi jmb,

Thanks, that did the trick (when I put the directory /opt/local/include & /opt/local/lib). I am now. however, running into the following problem:

Code: Select all

/var/folders/bl/8wb0ry9x00g8k6v3l9z293r80000gp/T//ccutkXba.s:39:no such instruction: `vmovsd 8(%rdi), %xmm5'

This goes on for many lines. Would you know what is causing this particular issue?

Thanks,
Anna.

Hello Anna,

some questions to clear the problem :

which version of abinit ?
which configure command are you using ?

can you send me the config.log ?
can you send me the results of these commands :

Code: Select all

env
gcc --version
gfortran --version

Hi jmb,

To answer your questions:

1) abinit-6.6.1_invKS, a modified version from http://www.princeton.edu/mae/people/fac ... otentials/
2) ../abinit-6.6.1_invKS/configure --with-fallbacks-tardir=/Users/anna/Documents/anna/1projects/simulation/PROFESS/abinit-tarballs --with-dft-flavor=none --with-trio-flavor=none --with-netcdf-libs="-L/opt/local/lib -lnetcdf" --with-netcdf-inc="-I/opt/local/include" > out.txt 2>&1
3) config.log attached
4)

Hello Anna,

little problem in your configure command : use "--with-netcdf-incs="-I/opt/local/include" ( with 's' in "incs" )
nothing stange in the env or in the config.log :roll:

Code: Select all

/var/folders/bl/8wb0ry9x00g8k6v3l9z293r80000gp/T//ccutkXba.s:39:no such instruction: `vmovsd 8(%rdi), %xmm5'

I suppose that this error appears during make ?
if yes , in which part ?
can you send me the "make.log" ( make > make.log 2>&1 )

Hi jmb,

Thanks for the correction.

Yes this error happens during make. It occurs during the first file being compiled. Please find the make.log attached.

Regards,
Anna.

Hello Anna,

I suspect a problem of architecture (32bit vs 64bit)

can you use this configure command with the 64bit enabled ( and a additionnal lib with netcdf option ( netcdff = netcdf for fortran ) ) :

Code: Select all

../abinit-6.6.1_invKS/configure  \
--with-fallbacks-tardir=/Users/anna/Documents/anna/1projects/simulation/PROFESS/abinit-tarballs \
--with-dft-flavor=none --with-trio-flavor=none \
--with-netcdf-libs=-L/opt/local/lib -lnetcdf -lnetcdff --with-netcdf-incs=-I/opt/local/include \
--enable-64bit-flags \
--enable-debug=no  --enable-optim=aggressive \
CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc  \
FC=/opt/local/bin/gfortran \
CXX=/opt/local/bin/g++ \
CPP=/opt/local/bin/cpp \
FPP=/opt/local/bin/cpp

regards

Hi jmb,

I tried what you suggested, and I'm still getting the same errors...

What do you suggest I try next? Should I also try the gcc mailing list as well?

Thanks and regards,
Anna.

Hi,

I also tried downloading 6.6.3, and compile against gcc4.4. configure completed successfully, but I am still getting the "no such instruction" error when using make.

Regards,
Anna.

Hi,

After posting to the gcc mailing list, apparently this error is popping up because my assembler is out of date compared to the one required by gfortran44 or 45.

So I tried compiling on one of our clusters here, using ifort. I am now getting the following error during linking:

Code: Select all

../../src/95_drive/lib95_drive.a(driver.o): In function `driver_':
driver.F90:(.text+0x3040): undefined reference to `nonlinear_'
driver.F90:(.text+0x3141): undefined reference to `sigma_'
driver.F90:(.text+0x3227): undefined reference to `screening_'
driver.F90:(.text+0x3443): undefined reference to `respfn_'
../../src/95_drive/lib95_drive.a(gstateimg.o): In function `gstateimg_':

gw_driver.F90:(.text+0xb51): undefined reference to `sigma_'
gw_driver.F90:(.text+0x2313): undefined reference to `screening_'

Would anyone have ideas on what is causing this error?

Thanks and regards,
Anna.
