Hi,

I would like to install the fftw3 library to use with ABINIT. I am currently trying to install fftw-3.3.4 on Mac OS 10.6.8 (snow leopard). I have been using the following steps to install:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-sse2 --enable-shared CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 CPP=/usr/bin/cpp-4.2 F77=/usr/local/bin/gfortran

Code: Select all

make

Code: Select all

sudo make install

Then when I use 'make check' to test the library, for most things it tells me there is 'nothing to be done'. And when I try to compile ABINIT with the fftw3 library, it says it either can't find the library or the library does not work. I have included the full output from make check in an attachment.
Any suggestions on how to properly install the fftw library on Mac 10.6.8?

Thank you.

This forum is dedicated to Abinit. For questions related to FFTW, please use their own mailing lists and forums.

This said, if you configured FFTW without specifying a prefix, the most probable is that it is installed in /usr/local. The corresponding options of the configure script of Abinit would thus be:

Code: Select all

--with-fft-flavor=fftw3 --with-fft-incs="-I/usr/local/include" --with-fft-libs="-L/usr/local/lib -lfftw3f -lfftw3"
