[molpro-user] error building Seward auxiliary files during Molpro installation

[Andy May]

George,

Here is a breakdown of some of the options you gave:

-i8 : default, not needed
-blas : default, not needed
-blaspath /home/programs/opt/acml4.4.0/ifort64_int64/lib/libacml.a : 
wrong syntax
-lapack : default, not needed
-lapackpath /home/programs/opt/acml4.4.0/ifort64_int64/lib/libacml.a : 
wrong syntax
-var BLASLIB="/home/programs/opt/acml4.4.0/ifort64_int64/lib/libacml.a" 
: not needed (only because of broken syntax of -blaspath).
-var CMPPINCLUDE="/home/programs/ga-5-0-2/include" - I have no idea 
about this, but I have never needed to set this.
-var MPILIB="/usr/local/mpich2/lib/libmpich.a -lrt -luuid -lpthread 
-lrt" - configure tries to get this automatically, maybe something has 
gone wrong.

Please try the following options:

./configure -batch\
  -icc\
  -ifort\
  -mpp\
  -mppbase /home/programs/ga-5-0-2\
  -instroot /home/programs\
  -blaspath /home/programs/opt/acml4.4.0/ifort64_int64/lib

and let us know the result. You must ensure the appropriate mpirun/exec 
etc. are in PATH.

There is no need to specify both -blaspath and -lapackpath if they are 
the same. Also, configure will only add acml to BLASLIB and not 
LAPACKLIB, because it is pointless to link the same library twice.

The failure at the end is the first time the program is actually run (to 
generate some auxiliary files), perhaps related to mpd, please see:

Best wishes,
