Compiling NWChem 6.6 (ubuntu 14.04)

Hi, NwChem developers. Some old issue returns http://nwchemgit.github.io/Special_AWCforum/st/id1348/Incomplete_EXTRA_LIBS_for_LI... in Ubuntu python-config --libs returns: -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -lpython2.7 without -lz for some reason. therefore linking fails. For this reason in NWChem 6.5 source -lz added to python-config --libs returns https://github.com/jeffhammond/nwchem/blob/master/src/config/makefile.h#L2005 P.S. To make situation a bit clearer I want to add two links: https://docs.python.org/2/extending/embedding.html#compiling-and-linking-under-unix-like-s... https://bugs.python.org/issue15590 Quote:username to link an embedded interpreter, SYSLIBS should be used, which might not be complete. However in this case MODLIBS is missing. run python >>> import sysconfig >>> sysconfig.get_config_var('LIBS') '-lpthread -ldl -lutil' >>> sysconfig.get_config_var('SYSLIBS') '-lm' >>> sysconfig.get_config_var('MODLIBS') '-L/usr/lib -lz' python-config --libs returns same as sysconfig.get_config_var('LIBS') and sysconfig.get_config_var('SYSLIBS') but sysconfig.get_config_var('MODLIBS') output is obviously missing. with respect Vladimir

Plesase set the env. variable USE_PYTHONCONFIG=Y Once this variable is set, all the linking bits should be picked up. At what stage does the NWChem python interface require libz? Most of my development occurs on a ubuntu 14.04 box and I have not seen this failure. If you really need any extra library, you can add it to BLASOPT (as a temporary fix)

But I want to add that before compiling NWCHEM I have installed the following packages on Ubuntu 14.04 (from scratch): sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install python-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev gfortran sudo apt-get install libopenblas-dev sudo apt-get install libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin sudo apt-get install csh sudo ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/config-x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/python2.7/config Vladimir

This is my best installation for Nwchem-Python in Ubuntu-14.04 and it run wonderful

Here is my best compilation in Ubuntu-14.04

This file is to compile nwchem-6.6 in Ubuntu 14.04
Required to be installed: OpenMPI, OpenBLAS, Python2.7, Gnuplot and Tkinter
1. Make a symbolic link of all .py files from "~/nwchem-6.6/contrib/python" to the address "/usr/lib/python2.7"
2. Make the following symbolic link for "_tkinter.so" and "_tkinter_d.so":

  A. "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so /usr/lib/python2.7/config-x86_64-linux-gnu/_tkinter.so"

  B. "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_tkinter_d.so /usr/lib/python2.7/config-x86_64-linux-gnu/_tkinter_d.so"

3. Make and link "python-config" file:

      "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/config-x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/python2.7/python-config"

4. From terminal go to the path's address "~/nwchem-6.6/" and run "make.sh" file.
To run make.sh file execute the following command:
chmod +x make.sh
./make.sh

What does it means? export BLAS_SIZE=4 export USE_64TO32=y I'm using openblas and doesn't require this. sudo apt-get install libopenblas-dev export BLASOPT="-L/usr/lib/openblas-base -lopenblas" export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/openblas-base
