Dear Yambo developers,

I have been trying to install Yambo 5.0.3 on Mac M1 (arm 64 architecture) running on Mac OS 11.12 with gcc-11 and open-mpi 4.1.1 (build on gcc-11). Although, the architecture is not yet supported, I am trying to build for x86_x64. I configured with the following script:

Code: Select all

./configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin20.5.0 --enable-hdf5-p2y-support --enable-iotk FC=gfortran MPIFC=mpif90 CC=gcc MPICC=mpicc \
  --without-editor \
  --with-iotk-path="/Users/muralidhar.nalabothu/softwares/qe-6.6/iotk" \
  --with-hdf5-path="/opt/local" \
  --with-netcdf-path="/opt/local" \
  --with-libxc-path="/opt/local" \
  --with-fft-path="/opt/local" \
  --with-blas-libs="-L/opt/local/lib -lopenblas" \
  --with-netcdff-path="/opt/local" \
  --with-lapack-libs="-L/opt/local/lib/lapack -llapack  -lblas" FCFLAGS="-fallow-argument-mismatch"

After successfully configuring and running the

Code: Select all

make -j8 all

command, I was able to compile most of modules except ypp_rt, ypp_nl. I get the following error (config.log file attached below)

Code: Select all

Please note that, I was able to successfully compile Yambo-4.5 on this machine. This error is also reported on intel macs with gcc-11 by sitangshu at viewtopic.php?t=1767

Thank you in Advance,

Best regards,
Murali

Dear Muralidhar Nalabothula

I don't have a mac, so I don't know how to help you with gcc-11,
just two suggestions:

1) try to compile without "-j8"

2) consider the possibility to install intel compiler on mac
as alternative to the gcc,

Dear Claudio Attaccalite,

Thanks for the suggestions,

1) I gave a try with out -j8 flag and the issue still persists

2) Currently the intel MKL is not supported on M1 macs, I cannot even go for lower versions of gcc (can install gcc-10 but openmpi fails to build on gcc-10)

Thank you,

Best regards,
Murali
