Hello
I'm attempting to install the Einstein Toolkit on Dora, which is a Cray
system supercomputer. In doing so I came across the following error:
Configuration script for thorn MPI returned exit code 5
Error message: 'MPI could not be configured: neither automatic nor
manual configuration succeeded'
In addition the log stated that:
No MPI compiler wrapper found beneath MPI_DIR (MPI_DIR = /usr)
I subsequently discovered that it was looking in the wrong place for the
MPI root directory and that the reason it was looking under /usr instead
of /opt/cray/mpt/7.3.2/gni/mpich-cray/8.3 was because that was the
setting in the ubuntu configuration file that I had used when
configuring SimFactory. On a reattempt therefore I did not use the
ubuntu.cfg file when configuring SimFactory, and got the following error
instead:
Configuring with flesh MPI
Warning: use of flesh MPI via MPI option is deprecated and
should be replaced with the thorn ExternalLibraries/MPI and its MPI_DIR
option
MPI selected, but no known MPI method - what is
"/opt/cray/mpt/7.3.2/gni/mpich-cray/8.3" ?
Attempts at altering the Makefile and the config-info file resulted in
either no change, or more errors.
Please would you be able to advise me on the correct way to specify the
root directory for MPI?
Many thanks,
Lucy Oswald
