[Users] Using gmake - Re: ETK in NERSC machines (Hopper/Carver) does not work properly

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?

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:

1. 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.edu

from 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

   https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/663

and
