Triangle and m1qn3 - Patch not Found

kmosley

Hello all,

I am attempting to install ISSM on an x86_64 cluster and have the following modules loaded:

1) GCCcore/13.2.0 3) binutils/2.40 5) CUDA/12.3.2 7) bzip2/1.0.8 9) cURL/8.3.0 11) libarchive/3.7.2
2) zlib/1.2.13 4) GCC/13.2.0 6) ncurses/6.4 8) OpenSSL/1.1 10) XZ/5.4.4 12) CMake/3.27.6

When I get to the installation of linux on triangle and m1qn3, I get the following warning:

./install-linux.sh: line 25: patch: command not found

This varies between triangle and m1qn3 depending on the first patch line. I have also tried this with OpenMPI and other patch modules, as well as trying static linux, to no avail. Does anyone know what the issue could be?

Thanks

kmosley Hi, it's exactly that: the patch command is not available, or not on the path. I woulld guess that this would normally be a part of binutils, but that may not be the case. A quick fix is to search for patch (with modules loaded) and either replace the instances of patch in these install scripts with the full path or create an alias like alias patch=<FULL_PATH_TO_PATCH_CMD>. You should definitely reach out to the admins for the cluster and ask how to make patch available.

Thanks, this has been resolved. Patch capability was not added before. The administrator added this following my request.
