First of all, make sure your environment variables are set correctly
-to compile and execute a single process mpi applications for the SP2
-machine. They should be similar to the following:
-
- setenv CC mpcc_r
- setenv MP_PROCS 1
- setenv MP_NODES 1
- setenv MP_LABELIO no
- setenv MP_RMPOOL 0
- setenv RUNPARALLEL "MP_PROCS=2 MP_TASKS_PER_NODE=2 poe"
+to compile and execute a single process mpi applications for the SP
+machine. Unfortunately, the setting varies from machine to machine.
+E.g., the following works for the Blue machine of LLNL.
+
+ setenv CC mpcc_r
+ setenv F9X mpxlf_r # if parallel Fortran API is wanted
+ setenv MP_PROCS 1
+ setenv MP_NODES 1
+ setenv MP_LABELIO no
+ setenv MP_RMPOOL 0
+ setenv RUNPARALLEL "MP_PROCS=2 MP_TASKS_PER_NODE=2 poe"
setenv LLNL_COMPILE_SINGLE_THREADED TRUE
The shared library configuration for this version is broken. So, only
static library is supported.
-An error for powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0's (LLNL Blue) install method was
-discovered after the code freeze. You need to remove the following line
-from config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 before configuration:
-
- ac_cv_path_install=${ac_cv_path_install='cp -r'}
-
Then do the following steps:
$ ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=<install-directory>

+ ld32: FATAL 9: I/O error (-lmpi): No such file or directory

+This is because libtool tries too hard to locate the loader 'ld'
+but ends up with one that does not know where to find the right
+version of libmpi.a for the particular ABI requested.
+The fix is to edit the file 'libtool' at the top of the build directory.
+Search for a string that looks like the following:
+ LD="/opt/MIPSpro/MIPSpro_default/opt/MIPSpro/bin/ld -n32"
+
+Replace it with something that knows how to find the right libmpi.a.
