[petsc-users] Fwd: PETSc installation on Intrepid

[Jitendra Kumar]

I ran into following errors while trying to build PETSc-dev on Intrepid
@ALCF.  (configure.log attached)

*******************************************************************************
         UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS    (see configure.log for
details):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cannot run executable to determine size of char. If this machine uses a
batch system
to submit jobs you will need to configure using ./configure with the
additional option  --with-batch.
 Otherwise there is problem with the compilers. Can you compile and run
code with your C/C++ (and maybe Fortran) compilers?
*******************************************************************************
  File "/gpfs/home/jkumar/lib/petsc/config/configure.py", line 293, in
petsc_configure
    framework.configure(out = sys.stdout)
  File
"/gpfs/home/jkumar/lib/petsc/config/BuildSystem/config/framework.py", line
933, in configure
    child.configure()
  File "/gpfs/home/jkumar/lib/petsc/config/BuildSystem/config/types.py",
line 386, in configure
    map(lambda type: self.executeTest(self.checkSizeof, type),
['char','void *', 'short', 'int', 'long', 'long long', 'float', 'double',
'size_t'])
  File "/gpfs/home/jkumar/lib/petsc/config/BuildSystem/config/types.py",
line 386, in <lambda>
    map(lambda type: self.executeTest(self.checkSizeof, type),
['char','void *', 'short', 'int', 'long', 'long long', 'float', 'double',
'size_t'])
  File "/gpfs/home/jkumar/lib/petsc/config/BuildSystem/config/base.py",
line 115, in executeTest
    ret = apply(test, args,kargs)
  File "/gpfs/home/jkumar/lib/petsc/config/BuildSystem/config/types.py",
line 296, in checkSizeof
    raise RuntimeError(msg)

This is what my configuration looks like (adapted from
config/examples/arch-bgp-ibm-opt.py)
configure_options = [
  '--with-cc=mpixlc',
  '--with-fc=mpixlf90',
  '--with-cxx=mpixlcxx',
  'COPTFLAGS=-O3',
  'FOPTFLAGS=-O3',
  '--with-debugging=0',
  '--with-cmake=/soft/apps/fen/cmake-2.8.3/bin/cmake',
#  '--with-hdf5=/soft/apps/hdf5-1.8.0',
  '--download-parmetis=1',
  '--download-metis=1',
  '--download-plapack=1',
  '--download-hdf5=1'
  ]

I would appreciate any help building the llbrary there.

Thanks,
Jitu
