#949 Cannot compile

[bingjie.wang]

Hello,

I've been trying to compile ATLAS so I can use another library for semi-definite programming. make build seems to work fine. make check then does not provide the expected result. I'm not sure what happened here. Checked the FAQ and there wasn't any info about make check going wrong, so I've posted here. The error report is attached.

What is the ouput of "make check"?

Hi. Thanks for the reply. The output is attached.

Something very odd is going on. Basically, this log shows a successful build of xsslvtst, then a successful run of it, and then a 2nd run where it is no longer found.

Is your home area remotely mounted, and if so, are you sure you aren't having problems with it?

Also, this guy is labeled 3.10.0, but the error report says 3.10.1, while the current stable is 3.10.2. I recommend switching to 3.10.2.

?

Hi, I've rerun it with an old computer (which definitely should not have any file system issues) and using 3.10.2. I get the same kind of errors.

What's wrong here? Attached is the make check output.

I've retried with the original computer. It would not work either and I'm sure there are no hard disk errors. I am using a newer version of gcc. Is this potentially causing the problem?

OK, I see now that I misread the make_check_output file completely.

The problem is that it is unable to build some lapack files due to missing symbols.

It looks like the error is coming from your lapack library, which is dying in the compiler. Here is the message (from LIBBUILD.LOG):

f77 -o ilaenv.o -c -O /home/jayce/Documents/2014/ATLAS3.10.0/ATLAS_BLD/..//interfaces/lapack/F77/src/ilaenv.f
ilaenv:

What I suspect is happening is that you don't have the newest gfortran installed, and the f77 link is to some crappy compiler. Can you try installing the gfortran that matches your gcc, and then reinstalling ATLAS3.10.2?

If you don't care about lapack, you can also tell ATLAS not to expect a fortran compiler, but then you can't use the --with-netlib flag . . .

Let me know,
Clint

Cool, it works. Thanks for the support.

Glad we got it fixed!
