ISSM on High Sierra

mattiapoinelli

Hi there,
after some trials and errors, I managed to properly install ISSM on a Mac with High Sierra 10.13.6 and Matlab 2018a
I report here steps and modification in the configurations I had to do.

Critical External Packages:

Mpich: install-3.0-macosx64.sh, configuring with:

./configure \
        --prefix="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/mpich/install" \
        --enable-shared\
        --enable-sharedlibs=gcc \
        --with-pm=gforker

Petsc: install-3.7-macosx64.sh
3.6 and previous versions gave some problems.

Installation:

Configure file:

./configure \
--prefix=$ISSM_DIR \
--with-matlab-dir="/Applications/MATLAB_R2018a.app/" \
--with-triangle-dir="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/triangle/install" \
--with-mpi-include="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/mpich/install/include" \
--with-mpi-libflags="-L$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/mpich/install/lib/ -lmpich" \
--with-petsc-dir="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install" \
--with-metis-dir="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install" \
--with-scalapack-dir="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install/" \
--with-mumps-dir="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install/" \
--with-m1qn3-dir="$ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/m1qn3/install" \
--with-numthreads=2

i.e. removing line with --with-blas-lapack-dir
suggested in ISSM website. It gave problems in calling some libraries.

Hope this can help those in same conditions.
