Issue with make command

[sdantu2]

Hi, as I was trying to go through the setup process for FEPX, I ran into an issue with the make command. I get the error:

[  1%] Building Fortran object CMakeFiles/fepx.dir/parallel/parallel_mod.f90.o
/home/srinath-dantu/FEPX/src/parallel/parallel_mod.f90:29:0:

   29 |   include 'mpif-handles.h'
      |

compilation terminated.

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:111: CMakeFiles/fepx.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:146: all] Error 2

I even tried to put the testing mode to minimal with the cmake -DBUILD_TESTING_MODE=Minimal .. command as I saw in a few different posts here to troubleshoot however I ran into the same issue. I am not sure what the issue is here, and I would greatly appreciate it if I could receive some help with this, thank you!

@sdantu2 Can you show the results of ccmake, and further list your OS, OpenMPI, and Gfortran versions? Thanks!

Overall, it seems as though you may be using a version of OpenMPI that is not supported.

[sdantu2]

Sorry, yes the OS is Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, the OpenMPI version is 4.1.6, and the Gfortran version is 13.3.0. If the version of OpenMPI that I have is not supported would that mean that I would need to install an older version in order for FEPX to work as intended or would I need to do a complete reinstall of the entire software? The OpenMPI documentation says that there should be backwards compatibility and any newer version of OpenMPI should be able to produce the same behavior as previous versions, or in this case is FEPX solely dependent upon a specific version of OpenMPI? Additionally, here is the results of the cmake command:

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:6 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 will be removed from a future version of
  CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
  CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

I was able to figure this out and get FEPX working without any further issues.

Hello @sdantu2, from what I could see the main difference between systems we've tested on and yours is the linux kernel version number. Would you be able to share what solved this for you so we can address the issue should it arise again?

[sdantu2]

I simply just downloaded and installed the versions of OpenMPI and GFortran that FEPX has been tested with onto my device and it worked, with all the of tests passing and I was able to start using FEPX.

Ok, sounds like a simple enough fix! I'm glad it's working.
