Installation issues related to PETSC on Apple M1 Chip

ahayden Ah, /usr/local generally should gave open permissions for all users, but I wouldn't recommend using /usr/local/lib as an install target for ISSM's libraries. What do you have ISSM_DIR set to? Where did you check out the repo to? I recommend setting ISSM_DIR to that location, and in your configure.sh, set the install target with --prefix=${ISSM_DIR}. Note that you'll have to start a new terminal, and may have to run autoreconf ivf again in $ISSM_DIR before make; make install.

Hi Justin,

My ISSM_DIR is in my Dropbox folder, so I would have thought that the libraries would be installed there. I don't know what the repo is. My configure.sh file has the line --prefix=${ISSM_DIR}

Hi Anna,
The screenshot with errors indicates that ISSM's libraries have been installed to /usr/local/lib. The only way this should happen is if ISSM_DIR is defined as /usr/local. What do you get from echo $ISSM_DIR?

Here's what comes up:

ahayden I would try a new terminal, cd $ISSM_DIR; source etc/environment.sh; ./configure.sh; make; make install

(Assuming configure.sh is located in $ISSM_DIR)

Hi Justin,

Ok, looks like we're back to square one after opening a new terminal:

Should I try to reinstall PETSc?

I really don't know what's going on here, but I suspect it may have to do with the fact that you checked out the trunk to a subdirectory of Dropbox. Try checking out a new copy to, say, ~/ISSM, recompiling the external packages, copying over your configure script, then configuring and compiling ISSM. Make sure to redefine ISSM_DIR to the new location of your trunk (in this example, export ISSM_DIR=~ISSM).

Hi Justin,

I did a fresh install of trunk in my home directory, and it seemed to work until I launched Matlab from the command line. Once I launched Matlab, it couldn't find the libgfortran.dylib file. I moved the contents of the gfortran folder to /usr/local/gfortran and changed the filepath in the configure.sh to match. I then re-installed the external packages and ran into errors when it came to the m1qn3 install:

patching file 'src/src/m1qn3.f'
gfortran -arch arm64 -fPIC -c m1qn3.f -o m1qn3.o
make: gfortran: No such file or directory
make: *** [m1qn3.o] Error 1

Any suggestions on what to do next?

Thanks,

Anna

Hi Justin,

I removed then reinstalled gfortran from the binaries, tried to create a symbolic link in .zshrc:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/gfortran /usr/local/gfortran

I reinstalled the external packages, but once I got to PETSc, the following error came up at the end of the install:

Here is what the configure.log file in PETSc looks like:

Any thoughts on what to do next?

Thanks,

Anna

ahayden Hi Anna,
You're very close here. I think you just need to remove the symbolic link command from ~/.zshrc, run the command manually once, then try the m1qn3 and issm compilation again.

Hi Justin,

Shivani and I got it to work! In addition to moving the trunk to the home directory, here are the other fixes that we implemented:

the Fortran binaries that I downloaded had included gcc as well as gfortran, which I don't think ISSM liked since I had gcc from Command Line Tools. So I just re-downloaded the gfortran binaries
Symbolic links to the non-MATLAB gfortran files: libf70rts.dylib libgfortran.5.dylib libgfortran.dylib

Thank you so much for all your help and suggestions!

Cheers,

Anna
