Re: [Apbs-users] Problems with APBS MPI installation

[Vyom S. <vysharma@MIT.EDU>]

I don't get any problems while configuring and make/make installing  
MALOC. The problems occur only when configuring/ make/ make installing  
apbs.

My .profile file (equivalent to .bashrc) supplies the compiler  
specifications as
export CC=gcc
export CXX=g++
export FC=g77
export CFLAGS="-O3"
export CXXFLAGS="-O3"
export FFLAGS="-O3"
export LDFLAGS="-O3"
export CXXLDFLAGS="-O3"

Since this is a configuration using lam-mpi, the /sw/lib/ does not have  
any libmpich.a and libmpich.so. Instead it has libmpi.a
The list of files in the /sw/lib are attached in this e-mail.
The list of files in the /sw/include are also attached

I configure MALOC with the following options: --enable-mpi  
--with-mpiinc=/sw/include --with-mpilib=/sw/lib

When I include libmpich.a in the /sw/lib and comment line 10426 in  
configure file for apbs (before I run it) the configuration for apbs  
runs fine and the part of it which configures maloc looks like this

---------- end configuring for MALOC linkage --------------

In the end of the configuration of APBS I get this message:

APBS to be linked with following libraries:

APBS to be compiled with following includes:  -I.  
-I/Network/Servers/barkis1.cluster.net/home/vysharma/home/soft/include   
   -I/Network/sw/include

The make in this case crashes with the following message:

/usr/bin/ld: warning -L: directory name  
(/Network/Servers/barkis1.cluster.net/home/vysharma/home/soft/src/apbs 
-0.4.0/lib) does not exist

is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

If I do not include the libmpich.a in the /sw/lib the configure for  
apbs fails with the following message:

MALOC was compiled with MPI enabled
MALOC needs to link against the MPI library
Try defining FETK_MPI_INCLUDE and FETK_MPI_LIBRARY
configure: error: MPI library or header is missing!!

.. and I have defined FETK_MPI_INCLUDE and FETK_MPI_LIBRARY, so I am  
not sure what the problem is in this case..
