[petsc-users] Building PETSc with Intel mpi

[Barry Smith]

   There is something wrong with your environment. It is compiling the trivial program

int main() {
;
  return 0;
}
                        Pushing language C
                        Popping language C
sh: mpiicc  -o /tmp/petsc-cd5uJs/config.setCompilers/conftest    /tmp/petsc-cd5uJs/config.setCompilers/conftest.o 
Executing: mpiicc  -o /tmp/petsc-cd5uJs/config.setCompilers/conftest    /tmp/petsc-cd5uJs/config.setCompilers/conftest.o 
sh: 
Executing: /tmp/petsc-cd5uJs/config.setCompilers/conftest
sh: /tmp/petsc-cd5uJs/config.setCompilers/conftest
Executing: /tmp/petsc-cd5uJs/config.setCompilers/conftest
sh: 
ERROR while running executable: Could not execute "/tmp/petsc-cd5uJs/config.setCompilers/conftest":
/tmp/petsc-cd5uJs/config.setCompilers/conftest: error while loading shared libraries: /apps/compilers/intel_2013/impi/4.1.0.024/intel64/lib/libmpi.so.4: requires glibc 2.5 or later dynamic linker


but the resulting program cannot be run. Can you compile and run a simple MPI program on this machine with mpiicc ? Do the following

printf “int main(){ return 0;} > simple.c

mpiicc -o simple simple.c 

./simplec 

does it work?

If I have to specify the lib names (using --with-mpi-lib?), which libs should I specify? I saw a lot of libs under the directory, such as libmpi.a, libmpi_ipl64.a, libmpi_mt.a, etc.
