Hello,
while, but eventually I encountered this: COMPILING arrangements/McLachlan/ML_BSSN/src/RegisterSymmetries.ccCOMPILING arrangements/McLachlan/ML_BSSN/src/Startup.ccCreating /home/jontester/Cactus/configs/sim/lib/libthorn_ML_BSSN.amake: *** [Makefile:260: sim] Error 2 I would be interested to know why
Hmm that error itself does not tell much. Make returns "2" for eg dependency errors and possibly other things. I would try compile again and see if there is any actual error message shown.
As for Fedora moving files and using "non-standard" locations, yes this is a problem we are struggling with. Thankfully on most workstations things work fine as long as pkgconfig is installed and (on fedora) one uses "module load mpi" before compiling.
Please have a look at:
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simplified_Tutorial_for_New_Users
in particular at the Prerequisites and the FC25 settings:
su -c ' yum -y install mpich2 python mpich2-devel gsl gsl-devel libjpeg-devel hdf5 hdf5-mpich-devel gcc gcc-c++ gcc-gfortran patch numactl-devel numactl hwloc subversion git openssl-devel lapack-static'
which admittedly use mpich and not openmpi.
In addition I would strongly advise to make sure pkg-config is installed (often gets pulled in by default):
su -c 'ym install pkg-config'
Then
module load mpi ./simfactory/bin/sim setup-silent --optionlist=fedora.cfg --runscript debian.sh
and see if this lets you compile.
Yours, Roland
