Dear Kamil,

Could you send the current error message you get when you specify the version of the library compiled with -fPIC?

Cheers,
Chris

Dear Dr. Cantwell,

Yes, it is the same version of the library compiled with -fPIC version.

Dear Kamil,

Can you confirm the library mentioned in the original error message
(/truba/sw/centos6.4/lib/lapack/netlib-3.5.0-gcc/liblapack.a) is now
the version of the library in your home directory in the latest error
message?

Cheers,
Chris

Dear Dr. Moxey,

I got in contact with the system administrator. He told that it is
impossible to recompile blas and lapack on the system with -fPIC option.

Alternatively, he copied the Blas and Lapack libraries from the
directory in the system to another folder in my home directory and
recompiled them there with -fPIC option.

However, when I tried to reinstall Nektar by showing the path of new
Blas and Lapack libraries in my home directory I got the same error. Is
there any other alternative way to overcome this problem?

Regards,
Kamil

Hi Kamil,

The issue is related to linking. We generate shared libraries in
Nektar++, but here we are trying to link the shared library with a
static library. You can only do this if the static library was
compiled with the -fPIC option, which generates position-independent
code that shared libraries need in order to work at runtime.

If you have a shared library, you should use this. Otherwise, you
should recompile BLAS/Lapack installation with the -fPIC option. This
may be something that your cluster system administrators can help with.

Thanks,

Dave

Dear All,

I'm trying to install Nektar++ 4.0 to a cluster with the options

  NEKTAR_USE_BLAS_LAPACK           ON
  NEKTAR_USE_SYSTEM_BLAS_LAPACK    ON

with the path of the libraries as follows:

  NATIVE_BLAS
/truba/sw/centos6.4/lib/blas/netlib-gcc/blas_LINUX.a
  NATIVE_LAPACK
/truba/sw/centos6.4/lib/lapack/netlib-3.5.0-gcc/liblapack.a

However, I'm getting the following error:

What may be the reason for this problem and how can I solve it?

Kamil
