Charm++ parallel programming system

[Ronak Buch <rabuch2 AT illinois.edu>]

Hi Joe,

I'm not 100% sure why this is failing for you, this is an odd error and in general we have used 6.10.2 with icc with no issue before. It looks like the error has something to do with Python detection causing a malformed header file (the "conftest.c(130): error: expected a declaration" being caused by a line with just "." on it). Maybe you could try checking if the Python installation on that machine is behaving properly.

When you try to use gcc, does it fail in the same place (I know you said that it fails in configure with the same error code, but does it also report the same "expected a declaration" error in conftest.c as the culprit)?

Thanks,

Ronak

To whom it may concern,

 

I’m trying to follow these instruction and am stuck trying to build Charm++.

 

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/reference-implementation/recipe-build-and-run-namd-on-intel-xeon-processors-on-single-node.html

 

I get the following error on this step:

 

./build charm++ multicore-linux64 iccstatic --with-production "-O3 -ip -xCORE-AVX512 -qopt-zmm-usage=high"

 

 

….

checking "whether has lustre fs"... "no"

Configuring hwloc:

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

checking for gcc... icc -fpic

checking whether the C compiler works... no

Charm++ NOT BUILT. Either cd into multicore-linux-x86_64-icc/tmp and try

to resolve the problems yourself, visit

http://charm.cs.illinois.edu/

for more information. Otherwise, email the developers at charm AT cs.illinois.edu

No matter what I try, it appears the compiler isn’t configured correctly.

 

Attached is my config.log

 

Then I tried to switch from icc to gcc and just take all the defaults that I was prompted for using

 

./build charm++

 

But get exact same “configure: exit 77” crash

 

Thanks,
Joe
