ABINIT Discussion Forums

I have been trying to install abinit-9.0.4 on my Ubuntu 20.04 PC for parallel execution. For the same, I have followed the instructions given in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DppLQ-KQA68. The options for configuring was given in an input file given below.
All the paths given in the config file have been checked for its correctness. Unfortunately, the configuration failed throwing an error

* removed option --enable-mpi. >>> use --with-mpi instead. error: removed option --enable-mpi has been used

.

I have been struggling to get it fixed by digging the threads in the forum, but to no avail. Any help on this would be appreciated. [Attachment: Config.log]

Hi,

the youtube video is very old and not applicable with abinit 9..x version

As an attachment, a beta version of a document explaining
the instatllation on Ubuntu 19 but which is adapted for Ubuntu 20.

Here is a possible example of installation of Abinit on Ubuntu 20 (it might not be the most optimized one but it works fine):

Installation of compilers/libraries:
- Compilers: - MPI: - Mathematical libraries (not sure how optimize they are): This can be added if used: - Mandatory Libxc, hdf5, netcdf (if you install with apt, each time there will have an update of these libraries, you might have to re-install Abinit for proper version linking... Otherwise follows what Jean-Michel mentioned with the fallbacks): - Depending on your need you can complete with: Then once this is installed I could compile Abinit 9.x with the following config.ac9: Jean-Michel, do you have comments on this minimal set for installing on Ubuntu such that we can maybe converge to a stable example? We could check how to make netcdf in parallel?

Best wishes,
Eric

Thank you for all the responses.
With all the initial set ups and the minimal configure script the configuration went really well. Log is attached herewith for your reference.

I am trying to install abinit 9.x parallel version in an ubuntu 20.04 with 6 cores (12 threads). To do this i have applied the command make -j6 (as prompted at the end of compilation). However, it did not succeeded while throwing the following error:

make[5]: *** No rule to make target 'm_optim_dumper.F90', needed by 'm_optim_dumper.o'. Stop.
make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
../../../../../shared/common/src/14_hidewrite/m_io_tools.F900:

1095 | iomsg = trim(msg)//ch10//"Runtime error message: "//trim(iomsg)

I am not able figure out what does this error. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I noticed that during the minimum ( or standard ) installation of Ubuntu 19 or 20, the python cmd is not "defined".
python3 is installed by default, but the link "python" to "python3" is not made .
However, during configure, a python script is executed with :
one way to solve the problem is to make a symbolic link
same workaround with python2

Thank you very much dear moderators.
Your suggestions and fixes helped me to install abinit parallel version in my Ubuntu 20.04 pc with the setup given in the installation guide.
