[mcstas-users] openmpi compilation problem

[Jean-Francois.Moulin at hzg.de]

 Hi Emmanuel!

thanks for the answer. Yes the build works but, this is what I get when I try to use it:

(case A)
~/Lab/MCarlo/McStas$ mcgui refsans_simplified_0.instr  
./refsans_simplified_0.out: error while loading shared libraries: libmpich.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And this is correct, the file is not on my system... why did the configure look for mpich in the first place?

(caseB)
Well it wants MPICH? I tried and installed mpich2 from ubuntu repos (including dev), ./configure make make install...
mcgui now starts without problem and shows my instrument parameters (it did not in case A)
but the simulation returns errors...

mcrun: No MPI/grid machine list. Running locally.
  Define /home/jfmoulin/.mcstas/hosts
  or /usr/local/lib/mcstas/tools/perl/hosts
  or use option --machines=<file>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort.  There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or
environment problems.  This failure appears to be an internal failure;
here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):

  orte_ess_set_name failed
  --> Returned value A system-required executable either could not be found or was not executable by this user (-127) instead of ORTE_SUCCESS


Is there a reason to have conflicts between the two mpi (I have dependencies of other packages on openmpi) or do I forget a setup step?
I had the box running before and did not change my home dir so I guess it should still work
Anyway, thanks for your help!

Ciao

Hi Jean-Francois,

to my knowledge, this is just a warning. The tar.gz configure; make; 
make install should proceed OK still, and McStas should be able to find 
MPI if 'mpicc' and 'mpirun' commands are available at the prompt.

OpenMPI seems OK on recent systems. It was less reliable than MPICH 
until 2010-2011 (would stall for long simulations with e.g. ncount > 2e9).

Emmanuel.
