Installation error

Clytie_Wang

I was trying to bulid ISSM on Linux (not Ubuntu) by myself following the steps provided at: https://issm.jpl.nasa.gov/download/unix/.

I directly module load autotools (autotools/20170329), mpich (openmpi/4.0.1), cmake (cmake/3.0.0), and petsc (petsc/3.9.4) instead of installing them by myself. The other two (m1qn3 & triangle) are installed using ISSM external packages, as they are unavailable in my working environment. I didn't install all the external packages as I am worried I will mess up the environment.

However, I have the following issue during the make step:

/apps/petsc/3.9.4/include/petscsys.h:165:6: error: #error "PETSc was configured with one OpenMPI mpi.h version but now appears to be compiling using a different OpenMPI mpi.h version"
make[3]: *** [modules/Bamgx/libISSMCore_la-Bamgx.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory /g/data1a/fp2/jw6120/ISSM/trunk/src/c' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory/g/data1a/fp2/jw6120/ISSM/trunk/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/g/data1a/fp2/jw6120/ISSM/trunk'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I would appreciate any help, thank you!

Clytie_Wang You had better install it on Ubuntu 16.04. It's stable and easy to build it.

Clytie_Wang As Alain mentioned, it may be best to use Ubuntu Linux 16.04 if you have virtualization software available to you. Otherwise, the likely culprit here is that you are feeding different MPI include paths to your configuration for PETSc and your configuration for the ISSM core software. Can you share with us these configurations?
