[Users] Error while compiling ET on cluster

Mon Nov 26 10:42:54 CST 2018

Hello Jodi,

I have never seen such an error (unless one has buggy code and eg
declares and calls a function with a different function signature than
is actually available as a function definition).

So assuming that you did not modify the Multipole thorn, my guess would
be that there could have been some (previous) failure in the build
process that may have left a corrupted .o file behind. This can happen
for a variety of reasons eg running of quota, the compiler being
terminated (killed) at the wrong time (maybe out of memory, maybe a
crash of the login node, maybe the admins killed some processes for
whatever reason, maybe the file system had issues).

If you want to, you could check the file sizes of the file:

/gpfs/pace2/project/pc1/jfuertes7/Cactus/configs/bbh_i15/build/Multipole/utils.cc.o

which should contain the function in question (you can run
nm
-C /gpfs/pace2/project/pc1/jfuertes7/Cactus/configs/bbh_i15/build/Multipole/utils.cc.o
to see what functions are defined inside). If this file has size of 0
bytes then this is your culprit.

As a first try (if you have not yet done so) I would also try and see
if the error goes away once you force Multipole to be recompiled eg by
running:

touch /gpfs/pace2/project/pc1/jfuertes7/Cactus/arrangements/EinsteinAnalysis/Multipole/src/*

then build once more.

Yours,
Roland
