Error running make; make install on MPICH

mathieumorlighem

You may be missing the option --with-fortran-lib= in your configure.sh script. Mine looks like this (could be different for you:

   --with-fortran-lib="-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/ -lgfortran" \

Could you try configuring ISSM again (no need to reinstall external packages) and compiling?

mathieumorlighem I have the line --with-fortran-lib="-L/usr/local/gfortran/lib -lgfortran" in my configure.sh, since /usr/local/gfortran/lib is also the correct location for the version of gfortran that I installed. I included the -L at the beginning and the -lgfortran at the end based on the example configure script, though I'm not sure what they do. I'm also not sure if /usr/local/gfortran/lib is the version of gfortran actually being used by my machine when I'm doing make. When I try which gfortran I get /usr/local/bin/gfortran which is not the version I installed, and it also isn't a directory (so there's no /usr/local/bin/gfortran/lib). I added usr/local/gfortran and usr/local/gfortran/lib to my path in my .bash_profile but still get /usr/local/bin/gfortran when I try which gfortran. Not sure if that's relevant, but I thought it could be part of the problem...
Thanks for your help so far.

ok let's try something else. Can you do mpifort -show and show us the output? and then

cat $ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install/lib/petsc/conf/petscvariables | grep PETSC_EXTERNAL_LIB_BASIC

and show us the output? That should help

clairewcook

mathieumorlighem mpifort -show gives:
gfortran -g -O2 -fPIC -fallow-argument-mismatch -I/Users/clairec/trunk/externalpackages/petsc/install/include -I/Users/clairec/trunk/externalpackages/petsc/install/include -L/Users/clairec/trunk/externalpackages/petsc/install/lib -lmpifort -lmpi -lpmpi

cat $ISSM_DIR/externalpackages/petsc/install/lib/petsc/conf/petscvariables | grep PETSC_EXTERNAL_LIB_BASIC gives:
SL_LINKER_LIBS = ${PETSC_EXTERNAL_LIB_BASIC}

mathieumorlighem

haha! You are using Homebrew... we will try to make it work but it creates all sorts of library conflicts. Alright, looking at this, it shows that you need to link against libgfortran.so and it should be here: /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/13.2.0/lib/gcc/current/ can you check? If that's the case you can use this:

   --with-fortran-lib="-L/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/13.2.0/lib/gcc/current/ -lgfortran" \

justinquinn

mathieumorlighem Alternatively, Claire, you could uninstall either the copy you installed to /usr/local or the copy installed via Homebrew. Note that because of some changes that Apple has made to the way shared libraries are linked, you may need to recompile your external packages after you have landed on one installation of gfortran.

clairewcook

mathieumorlighem I checked /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/13.2.0/lib/gcc/current and these files starting with libgfortran were present, but not libgfortran.so:

libgfortran.5.dylib
libgfortran.a
libgfortran.dylib
libgfortran.spec

I also searched /usr/local for libgfortran.so but did not find it anywhere in that directory.

clairewcook

justinquinn I just saw this reply, I'll try that next.

justinquinn

clairewcook That's okay. .dylib is the equivalent of .so under macOS. If you do find /usr/local -name libgfortran*.dylib, then all instances should be shown.

mathieumorlighem

yep sorry! I forgot you had a mac, yes dylib is the equivalent of so, that command should work

Hi @mathieumorlighem and @justinquinn, I am running into a similar problem to @clairewcook's first problem related to MPICH. I am installing ISSM from source via the ISSM github on MacOS (Sonoma 14.7.2), but having issues with the petsc install script. I am using the ISSM/externalpackages/petsc/install-3.22-mac.sh script and it fails on the make call for MPICH. Here is the relevant stdout from the script:

I also looked at configure.log but it is quite long (₈₀,000 lines) with a lot of error and critical error messages. Can you help me look into this?

justinquinn

elizadawson Yes, could you please attach your configure.log (you can use the little upload button when replying)?

elizadawson

justinquinn thanks, you can view the configure.log here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1908D1wir2XUcdUsVDvFh6xE4ZGgrR1sp/view?usp=sharing. I wasn't able to directly upload it because it exceeds the file size limit.

elizadawson

Hi @justinquinn just wanted to follow up about the petsc installation problems to see if you have any suggestions. Also I forgot to mention before that I am installing on a mac with apple silicon chip (sonoma 14.7.2). Thanks for your help!

justinquinn

elizadawson
Hi Eliza,
Sorry, I haven't forgotten about you, just tied up on another task. I'm hoping to get to this today!

mathieumorlighem

Hello @elizadawson it seems from your configure file that you have Anaconda installed. Could you deactivate it while you install PETSC? see https://issm.jpl.nasa.gov/download/unix/
Cheers
Mathieu

justinquinn

mathieumorlighem Good catch, Mathieu!

elizadawson

justinquinn

mathieumorlighem Thanks for the catch. I deactivated my conda environment however I still have an error with MPICH when I try to install petsc (install-3.22-mac). Here is the new configure.log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NKcOg-gRgk0t8Bw-bXRqliC589LxJ-Ct/view?usp=sharing

justinquinn

elizadawson Do you have the Command Line Tools installed? If not, you can install them with xcode-select --install. If they are already installed, you can switch from using Xcode to the Command Line tools with sudo xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools. Then try building again.

justinquinn

elizadawson
Hi Eliza,
Just checking in. Were you able to get things working?

elizadawson

justinquinn Hi, I've made some progress but petsc is still not successfully installing.
I ran the sudo command to switch from xcode to command line tools and now when I run the petsc installation, mpich configure, make and install is successful. However after that, as part of building and installing zlib, I get a message:

       TESTING: consistencyChecks from config.packages.fblaslapack(config/BuildSystem/config/package.py:1112)

       UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS (see configure.log for details):

Cannot use fblaslapack without Fortran, make sure you do NOT have --with-fc=0

So it appears the error is now potentially something related to fortran however I also see other errors in the configure.log. I have attached the newest configure.log here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cLXRp5BiaD-VhvnLH6ov64WFQfn_9g-8/view?usp=sharing
If you have more suggestions, let me know. Thanks for the help!
