As mentioned, using the configuration files located in simfactory/mdb/optionslists/ helped. And compiling with gmake worked.
The only thing it confuses me is that after
gmake binary-config thornlist='binary,th'
I always need to copy the binary,th in configs/binary/
and then
gmake binary
otherwise, the compiler uses all thorns in the arrangements directory, and not only the listed in binary.th. It should not, right?
Best, Jose

Hello Ian, all,
I am trying now to use gmake to create an executable using McLachlan for
a
simulation of binary coalescence.
When I do: gmake grbinary
I obtain: ..... CST finished.
/global/u1/f/fiestas/CACTUS/Cactus/arrangements/Carpet/CarpetLib/src/make.configuration.defn:5:
*** Configuration error: The Carpet thorns require MPI. Please configure with MPI, or remove the Carpet thorns from the ThornList.. Stop. gmake: *** [grbinary] Error 2 ..........
I checked the configuration and I found following line while doing: gmake grbinary-config thornlist='thornlists/grbinary.th'
............ Configuring without MPI ............
So, I tried:
export mpi=native gmake grbinary-config
and
- setting mpi=native in a config. file and using it
gmake grbinary-config options='grbinary-config.txt'
Initially looks OK:
fiestas@hopper09:~/CACTUS/Cactus> gmake grbinarypgi-config options='grbinary-config-pgi' Cactus - version: 4.0.0 Reconfiguring grbinarypgi. Adding configuration options from 'grbinary-config-pgi'... Setting mpi to 'native' Setting CC to 'mpicc' Setting CXX to 'mpicxx' End of options from 'grbinary-config-pgi'. ....
but later I get again the message:
........... Configuring without MPI ........
Am I doing something wrong?
Btw, if I configure with my own thronlist and add it as above, it keeps reading all thorns in the arrangements directory while compiling. So, I copied my thornlist in configs/grbinary/ to force the compilation using
my
thornlist. Is it normal?
Hi Jose,
You have not specified an optionlist. There are a large number of variables which usually need to be set on HPC machines (compiler locations, flags, library paths, MPI paths etc). I strongly recommend that you use simfactory for this, as I believe that most of the work has already been done for the NERSC machines. If there is a problem with the configuration of simfactory on these machines, then we can help to find the problem and fix it. Building up an optionlist and submit script etc from scratch will take a lot of time if you aren't very familiar with the machine and Cactus.
Thanks, Jose

Dear colleagues,
I was trying the last days to install an own application based on ETK
in
NERSC machines (Hopper/Carver), having some problems during the
compilation.
Before trying to find the real problem, I started from scratch and
realize
I can not even checkout ETK properly. Does somebody tried it in machines different as LONI machines since the last release? Would appreciate any experience about it. Below my steps:
- GetComponents <Einstein Toolkit> (release version)

These are all hosted on svn.cct.lsu.edu, which we have found to be very unreliable. It might be that the machine (or connection) was down when
you
tried it. Can you try it again?
We might want to think about moving these repositories to a more
reliable
server, for example svn.einsteintoolkit.org.
Alternatively, it might be that there is a routing problem between NERSC and CCT. Can you try
ping svn.cct.lsu.edufrom one of the affected machines?
PS: your WaveDemo build fails because the wavedemo thornlist is not up
to
date. It needs to be modified to include the Vectors thorn (see the ET thornlist for an example).
The Cactus thornlists are out of date - see
