GNU make 3.82 issue

Just Got Here

Hi, Nwchem 6.0 does not build with gnu make 3.82; Makefile works well with make 3.81. Is there a way to modify the Makefile to make it comply with new version? Thank you.

Can you post a little more detail as to what you mean by cannot build? Do you have a log of the errors?

I am having the same difficulty with gnu make 3.82 (included in fedora 14). I would appreciate if you can provide me a fix or any hint. Here is the log file generated at the time of failed build: Making libraries in tools ... GNUmakefile:71: * mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. make[2]: * [clean] Error 1 make[1]: * [LINUX64-TCG-N.stamp] Error 2 make: * [libraries] Error 1 Thank you.

I recommend for now to use GNU make 3.81. Our next release (there will be a development release shortly) will have the tools build using automake and this will eliminate the problem.

So this was a lame answer for me so I made a patch that got around the issue.

Not a lame answer at all. If you go to the download page the development version is available, which uses the new autobuild for global arrays...

development program still doesn't work
I can't install nwchem 6.0 -april 2011 version on fedora 14 either. I believe I have similar problems with the tools and automake didn't help. I have installed nwchem 6.0 on a older server, centos 5, but it seems there is problems w/ the newer os. Is there a way to fix this.. or will this be fixed? I"m not sure how to implement the patch above. echo "No extra configuration libraries were added " >> NWCHEM_CONFIG test -d /scratch/nwchem-6.0/lib/LINUX64 \|\| mkdir -p /scratch/nwchem-6.0/lib/LINUX64 test -d /scratch/nwchem-6.0/bin/LINUX64 \|\| mkdir -p /scratch/nwchem-6.0/bin/LINUX64 Making libraries in tools ../config/makefile.h:167: /scratch/nwchem-6.0/src/config/nwchem_config.h: No such file or directory make[1]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode. make[1]: * No rule to make target `/scratch/nwchem-6.0/src/config/nwchem_config.h'.

Neo What version of NWCHem are you using? I believe this should have been fixed in 6.5

I am getting this issue on 6.1.1 on CentOS 7. however NWCHEM 6.3 is giving a different OPENIB related issue, which I have already posted as a different thread. In nwchem download page I can only see 6.3 as the latest stable release, no idea about 6.5. As a very new user I am utterly confused on how can I be able to install it. thank you.
