[petsc-users] Issue with the installation of Petsc

[Franco Dassi]

Good morning,

We are using your Petsc library to solve linear systems coming from PDEs.

However recently we are trying to install PETSC (maint branch) on a linux
system but we have some issues.

On the one hand, when we use the following configure command

./configure --with-cc=gcc --with-cxx=g++ --with-fc=gfortran
--download-mpich --download-fblaslapack --with-mpi=1
--download-superlu_dist --download-mumps --download-hypre
--with-debugging=0 COPTFLAGS='-O3 -march=native -mtune=native'
CXXOPTFLAGS='-O3 -march=native -mtune=native' FOPTFLAGS='-O3
-march=native -mtune=native' --download-scalapack


I obtain the following error:

===============================================================================
             Configuring PETSc to compile on your system

===============================================================================
TESTING: checkFortranCompiler from
config.setCompilers(config/BuildSystem/config/setCompilers.py:989)

*******************************************************************************
                    OSError while running ./configure
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cannot run executables created with FC. 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 compiler
'/home/gurst/repositories/petsc/arch-linux-c-opt/bin/mpif90'?
*******************************************************************************


On the other hand if we add the --with-batch the library is compiled, but
when we try to use it to run the code we obtain the following error (at run
time):

./testGBDForMixed3d: symbol lookup error:
/home/martinelli/repositories/petsc/arch-linux-c-opt//lib/libmpifort.so.12:
undefined symbol: MPIR_F_NeedInit


Looking the symbols table in the petsc/arch-linux-c-opt/lib directory,
It seems that something is undefined:

~/repositories/petsc/arch-linux-c-opt/lib $ nm -A *.so | grep -n
MPIR_F_NeedInit

12591:libfmpich.so:                 U MPIR_F_NeedInit
18943:libmpi.so:000000000031ab00 D MPIR_F_NeedInit
27046:libmpich.so:000000000031ab00 D MPIR_F_NeedInit
34565:libmpichf90.so:                 U MPIR_F_NeedInit
40333:libmpifort.so:                 U MPIR_F_NeedInit
46685:libmpl.so:000000000031ab00 D MPIR_F_NeedInit
54788:libopa.so:000000000031ab00 D MPIR_F_NeedInit

Are we  doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance for your time
best
Massimiliano and Franco
