Hello Shanshan,
we have had issues with OpenMPI and MacPorts in the past (see eg https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2290/failure-to-compile...) though usually with OpenMPI preventing us from building and not so much it itself not building.
Not usually building OpenMPI.
It worked for me a couple of weeks ago (on a freshly installed Catalina system), though this may have changed since.
Can you include (or check) the file
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_science_openmpi/openmpi-gcc9/main.log
mentioned in the error message?
Yours, Roland
Dear group,
We are reinstalling the ET_2019_10 version following the CactusTutorial.ipynb and keep running into issues when installing the prerequisites. Our system is macOS Catalina with Xcode and Macports installed successfully. When we use the commend: sudo port -N install pkgconfig gcc9 openmpi-gcc9 fftw-3 gsl jpeg zlib hdf5 +fortran +gfortran openssl subversion ld64 We get the following errors:
---> Computing dependencies for pkgconfig ---> Cleaning pkgconfig ---> Computing dependencies for gcc9 ---> Cleaning gcc9 ---> Computing dependencies for openmpi-gcc9 ---> Configuring openmpi-gcc9 Error: Failed to configure openmpi-gcc9, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_science_openmpi/openmpi-gcc9/work/build/config.log Error: Failed to configure openmpi-gcc9: configure failure: command execution failed Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_science_openmpi/openmpi-gcc9/main.log for details. Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug. Error: Processing of port openmpi-gcc9 failed
We are wondering if anyone have ran into similar issues and could give us a hint about how to fix this.
Thank you very much, Shanshan
