[mpich-discuss] Configure error 77

Tue Jul 10 09:06:04 CDT 2012

Dear all,

I am installing mpich2-1.4.1p1 locally on a cluster that I do not have root permissions. I am following along with the v1.4.1 installer's guide and the guidelines posted here:

http://lists.mcs.anl.gov/pipermail/mpich-discuss/2012-July/012752.html

After decompressing the file I try to configure the installation pointing to the installation directory (tcsh):

> cd $HOME/mpi/mpich2-1.4.1p1
> ./configure --prefix=$HOME/mpi/mpich2-1.4.1p1 --enable-shared

but the configuration fails with the following errors:

Configuring MPICH2 version 1.4.1p1 with  '--prefix=/homedir/mdbaker2/mpi/mpich2-1.4.1p1' 'CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc' 'CFLAGS=-c -m64 -mcpu=power6 -DLINUX -D_LP64' 'CPP=/usr/local/bin/g++' 'F77=/SPG_ops/utils/ppc64/xlf/11.1/bin/f77' 'FFLAGS=-O2 -c -qextname -q64 -qwarn64'
Running on system: Linux tisa2-blue 2.6.16.60-0.42.9-ppc64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 28 23:39:37 UTC 2010 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in `/homedir/mdbaker2/mpi/mpich2-1.4.1p1':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

Most of my development will be done in Fortran so I need the F77 and F90 bindings, and my gcc, g++, and gfortran compilers are located in /usr/bin. However, I use the IBM XLF compiler so my F77 and F90 env variables point to another location, which the configuration executable seems to find just fine (the locations match up to my env file).

In the core tests I see that the error seems to come from my CFLAGS variable. Does this correct? Can anyone give me some direction? I have attached the full configuration file below.

Thanks,
Myles

Here is the full config.log file:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.63.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --prefix=/homedir/mdbaker2/mpi/mpich2-1.4.1p1
