Hi all,

I have some problem during the instalation of Golbal Array Toolkit version 5.0.1 on linux OpenSuse 11.3. Here is the part of the config.log considering the error:


configure:4689: mpicc -V >&5
gcc: '-V' option must have argument
configure:4700: $? = 1
configure:4689: mpicc -qversion >&5
gcc: unrecognized option '-qversion'
gcc: no input files
configure:4700: $? = 1
configure:4720: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:4742: mpicc conftest.c >&5
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpi
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

As you can see the ld cannot find lmpi. The problem is mpi libraries are not in the folder where ld looks for it (/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.5/). I found that mpi libraries are in other folder (usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/lib64), so I made symlink to it:

ln -s usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/lib64 lmpi

But it doesn't work again. I don't know what the problem is, and if I have correctly made symlink.
I would appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,
Lika

Welcome to LQ.
lmpi = libmpi.so → → openmpi-devel(-1.2.8-13.1.x86_64)

Not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I think : /usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/lib64/libmpi.so
Add it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH , or use something like : cd <ga-5-1>/
&& export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/lib64:/lib:/usr/lib
&& ./configure

The export command is temporary : Will reset to /lib:/usr/lib etc.
when you exit the terminal.

And by the way : Why not use the latest stable = GA 5.0.2
