[Octopus-users] problem- compiling octopus 3.0.0

[Emily]

Honestly, I'm not an expert in this, but I'll try to help you.  

First, you can check for yourself which gsl version is running with the
command 
gsl-config --version
It does say here that it wants version 1.9, though last time I installed
octopus, version 1.5 was enough. 

Second, you can try for yourself to compile a simple program that links
a gsl library.  Make a file called test.c as follows:

    #include <stdio.h>
     #include <gsl/gsl_sf_bessel.h>

     int
     main (void)
{
  double x = 5.0;
  double y = gsl_sf_bessel_J0 (x);
  printf ("J0(%g) = %.18e\n", x, y);
  return 0;
}

Compile it with:
 gcc test.c -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm

Then run:
 ldd a.out

This will tell you which libraries are your program has linked to.  You
should get something like:
        libgsl.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgsl.so.0 (0x00d18000)
        libgslcblas.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgslcblas.so.0 (0x00ca9000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00655000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00876000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00a55000)

and if you run ./a.out you should get 
J0(5) = -1.775967713143382920e-01

If you can't link a program yourself in this way, the problem lies with
gsl, and you can try to fix that, maybe reinstall it, or uninstall an
earlier version, or fix the library paths. If you know the path to the
library you can try giving it to the compiler with -L:
gcc -L/usr/local/lib test.o -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm 
Try looking at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Using-the-library.html
.

If the gcc and ldd commands I suggested work okay, I don't really know
what you should do, except report back to the octopus users group, and
hopefully somebody else will help you!

Thank you very much for your  suggestion.  but still  it  encounters 
the same  problem... 
part of configure output is 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice that when it says its checking for gsl-config it is trying to use
the path /usr/local//bin/gsl-config.  It should not have two slashes in
the path.  So instead of 
--with-gsl-prefix="/usr/local/" 
use
--with-gsl-prefix="/usr/local" 

That at least will help you get past the gsl problem.  

Good luck,
Emily

Dear Octopus users
            I am trying to compile octopus-3.0.0 on x86_64 arch with
            intel-mkl 10.0 I have compiled gsl-1.9 with ifort and icc
            compilers. but some how i get error message like this 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
checking for gsl-config... /usr/local//bin/gsl-config
checking for GSL - version >= 1.0... no
*** Could not run GSL test program, checking why...
