[Octopus-users] compiling octopus_mpi 3.1.0 with mpich in anon-standard directory

[Daniel.joubert]

Hi Xavier,

Thank you for your response.

I managed to sort out the configure and compilation problems.

For information,  the pathscale c compiler, pathcc version 2.9.99, does not seem able to compile the all the routines in /src/beak.  The error message is included below.  I compiled with the gcc compiler which seems to work on this IBM e1350 Cluster. 

  pathcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../..  -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I../../external_libs/spglib/src -I../../liboct_parser -I../../external_libs/metis-4.0/ -I../../external_libs/zoltan/include   -g -O2 -I/CHPC/usr/local/gsl-1.9/include -MT operate_ri_vec.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/operate_ri_vec.Tpo -c -o operate_ri_vec.o operate_ri_vec.c
