ABINIT Discussion Forums

Hi everyone,
I got the following error message after I ran "make multi multi_nprocs=8". However ./configure went well. I would be grateful for suggesting what the following error message indicates:
checking for linker flag to name executables... configure: error: Could not determine flag to name executables
See `config.log' for more details.

Thank you!

Hi,

not enough infos !

- your configure command and the config.log
- result of command

Dear jmb,
1) I configured with command "./configure --with-config-file=./build.ac"
where build.ac is:
_____________________________________________________________________________
enable_exports="yes"
enable_pkg_check="yes"
enable_gw_dpc="yes"
enable_mpi="yes"
enable_mpi_io="yes"
with_mpi_prefix="/usr/lib64/openmpi"
with_trio_flavor="netcdf+etsf_io+fox"
with_dft_flavor="atompaw+bigdft+libxc+wannier90"
with_linalg_flavor="atlas"
with_linalg_libs="-L/usr/lib64/atlas -llapack -lf77blas -lcblas -latlas"
with_fft_flavor="fftw3"
with_fft_incs="-I/usr/include"
with_fft_libs="-L/usr/lib64 -lfftw3"

with_libxc_incs="-I/usr/include -I/usr/lib64/gfortran/modules"
with_libxc_libs="-L/usr/lib64 -lxc"
__________________________________________________________
2) RESULT OF COMMAND:
Summary of important options:

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

* debugging : basic
* optimizations : standard

* MPI enabled : yes
* MPI-IO enabled : yes
* GPU enabled : no (none)

* TRIO flavor = netcdf+etsf_io-fallback+fox-fallback
* TIMER flavor = abinit (libs: ignored)
* LINALG flavor = atlas (libs: user-defined)
* ALGO flavor = none (libs: ignored)
* FFT flavor = fftw3 (libs: user-defined)
* MATH flavor = none (libs: ignored)
* DFT flavor = libxc+atompaw-fallback+bigdft-fallback+wannier90-fallback

Configuration complete.

3) config.log file is too long. If you want I can send it also.
Thank you very much!

Hello

* C compiler : gnu version 4.1
* Fortran compiler: gnu version 4.1

this version is very very very old and never supported

the last supported version is gcc 4.3.x

with this old OS version, it's possible to install gcc 4.4



good luck
