Hi,

Having gotten einsteintoolkit built on my local macbook, I have decided to try to get things built on the Ohio Supercomputer Center's front end. I have taken one of the config files for ranger and have used it as a base from which I made some changes with particular attention to the locations of needed things on the OSC system. I have tried the following while in the Cactus directory:

./simfactory/bin/sim setup

which did complete with a basic setup (had to do this twice as I logged onto the OSC frontend two separate times and got two different machines, which is not surprising I guess).

While in the Cactus directory:

./simfactory/bin/sim build --optionlist=oscoptionlist --thornlist=thornlists/einsteintoolkit.th >& attempt5.9.1.2012.out &

where oscoptionlist is the edited version of the ranger optionlist I used. I am attaching this optionlist. At the end of the output file I see the following:

HDF5: Installing checker... /usr/bin/install -c h5check '/nfs/05/bgs001/Cactus/configs/sim/scratch/external/HDF5/bin' ~/Cactus/configs/sim/scratch HDF5: Cleaning up... HDF5: Done. HDF5 selected, but HDF5_DIR not set. Checking some places... HDF5 not found Using bundled HDF5... Building HDF5 Checking consistency... Creating Thorn-Flesh bindings... Creating implementation bindings... Creating parameter bindings... Creating variable bindings... Creating schedule bindings... Creating function bindings... CST finished. /nfs/05/bgs001/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. make: *** [sim] Error 2

So, the system I run on uses module and the loaded modules are:

-bash-4.1$ module list Currently Loaded Modules: 1) torque/2.5.12 3) modules/1.0 5) mkl/10.3.0 7) fftw3/3.3 2) moab/6.1.5 4) intel/12.1.4.319 6) mvapich2/1.7

I believe/think that the optionlist file reflects the loaded mvapich libs, but maybe I have missed something...

Can you please help me get over this hurdle?

Thanks for your help.
