[Users] Compiling Einstein Toolkit

[Roland Haas]

Hello Maria,

I belietve this could also be caused by incorrect LIBS settings.

For this, in your option list, please check if you added something like
"-lz" to the one of the LIBS variables. It should really read just "z".

You should be able to check what is used (but not modify it easily) by
looking at configs/ET-config/config-info or if you need the real thing
then configs/ET-config/config-data/make.config.defn then you can modify
simfactory/mdb/optionlists/biggreen.cfg accordingly.

You may also want to double check that you did not accidentally add
something like LD=ld to your option list which is no correct (it should
be g++).

Admittedly the biggreen.cfg file that you had included a while back
does not seem to do anything like this.

One more thing: looking at the cfg file, I believe that it should read
MPI_DIR=/opt/openmpi rather than OPENMPI_DIR=/opt/openmpi

Yours,
Roland
