NWCHEM Cannot Run On the Environment Although It Is Built

Dear Doctors and Professors

When I recompiled NWCHEM6.6, although it was successfully built on macOS Sierra 10.12.2 with GCC6.3.0, mpich3.2_2 and Xcode8.0 with the following
gfortran -L/users/computation2/nwchem6.6/lib/MACX64 -L/users/computation2/nwchem6.6/src/tools/install/lib -o /users/computation2/nwchem6.6/bin/MACX64/nwchem nwchem.o stubs.o -lnwctask -lccsd -lmcscf -lselci -lmp2 -lmoints -lstepper -ldriver -loptim -lnwdft -lgradients -lcphf -lesp -lddscf -ldangchang -lguess -lhessian -lvib -lnwcutil -lrimp2 -lproperty -lsolvation -lnwints -lprepar -lnwmd -lnwpw -lofpw -lpaw -lpspw -lband -lnwpwlib -lcafe -lspace -lanalyze -lqhop -lpfft -ldplot -lnwpython -ldrdy -lvscf -lqmmm -lqmd -letrans -lpspw -ltce -lbq -lmm -lcons -lperfm -ldntmc -lccca -lnwcutil -lga -larmci -lpeigs -lperfm -lcons -lbq -lnwcutil -lnwclapack -lnwcblas /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.a -lnwclapack -lnwcblas -L/usr/local/Cellar/mpich/3.2_2/lib -lmpifort -lmpi -lpmpi -lpthread
/bin/rm -f nwchem.o stubs.o
nwchem is built

the following error was encountered, e.g, in the case of QA test be,

Command env|grep MPI_ gives
MPI_INCLUDE=/usr/local/Cellar/mpich/3.2_2/include
MPI_LIB=/usr/local/Cellar/mpich/3.2_2/lib

Does it mean there is some incompatibility and What should I do to remedy this?

From the successfully mpi built and fully tested DALTON2016.2 on the same environment, the following information may be helpful:

BLAS                     | /usr/lib/libblas.dylib

LAPACK                   | /usr/lib/liblapack.dylib

Not sure I was not able to reproduce this failure on my Mac, that has Mac OS Sierra, too The only difference in my build is that I am using OpenMPI (from Homebrew) instead of Mpich $ otool -L ../bin/MACX64/nwchem ../bin/MACX64/nwchem: /usr/local/opt/open-mpi/lib/libmpi_usempif08.20.dylib (compatibility version 21.0.0, current version 21.0.0) /usr/local/opt/open-mpi/lib/libmpi_usempi_ignore_tkr.20.dylib (compatibility version 21.0.0, current version 21.0.0) /usr/local/opt/open-mpi/lib/libmpi_mpifh.20.dylib (compatibility version 21.0.0, current version 21.0.0) /usr/local/opt/open-mpi/lib/libmpi.20.dylib (compatibility version 21.0.0, current version 21.1.0) /usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/6/libgfortran.3.dylib (compatibility version 4.0.0, current version 4.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1238.0.0) /usr/local/lib/gcc/6/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) /usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/6/libquadmath.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0

Thanks a lot for your time.

   In fact, this might be caused by the deletion of files in Cellar because GCC cannot be uninstalled

thoroughly. Although the operating system had been reinstalled, some default configuration

might not be automatically compatiaple with NWCHEM6.6 running.

  My question is what files should be changed  in Cellar or other file clips to make a parrallel run

start?

  Thanks!

  Very Best Regards!

I have updated the operating system to macOS Sierra 10.12.3 and found some tests, e.g.,acr_lcblyp.nw, could pass, whether they ran sequentially or parallelly, but test Be.nw still failed with the following information

This might be caused by the conflicts between NWCHEM6.6 and Dalton2016.2, LSDalton1.2 or Dirac16 on MacOS Sierra 10.12.1 and later, because sometimes command env\|grep MPI_ exhibited MPI_INCLUDE=/usr/local/Cellar/mpich/3.2_2/include MPI_LIB=/usr/local/Cellar/mpich/3.2_2/lib DIRAC_MPI_COMMAND=mpirun -np 4 ( DIRAC installation command) or blank. On previously released MacOS editions, no such phenomena were observed. I will try to compile NWChem6.6 on a just released small but powerful HP Z2 mini G3 workstation, where the CPU is Core i7 6700, which will have Fedora or RHEL desktop workstation installed.

patch for gcc 6.1 and later
Have you applied the following patch for gcc 6.1 as described in the Download page http://nwchemgit.github.io/download.php?f=Gcc6_macs_optfix.patch.gz

Dear Dr. Edoapra

     Thanks a lot.

     NWCHEM6.6 seems to be full-fledged after I have applied all the patches except

those for the compilations under OpenSuse or Centos7.1, and recompiled it. Previously
I also applied those patches but NWCHEM6.6 cannot run due to the hostname problems.
I will not hesitate to find helps from you if I get stuck in the compilation of NWCHEM6.6
on my HP Z2 mini G3 workstation when the operating system is installed.

    I will try applying only one patch for macOS.

    Very Best Regards!

If only the patch for mac is applied, the result calculated is the same. Dft_he2+.nw gives the same results as those in dft_he+.out, both slightly different from those in dft_he+.out_old.
