Yambo Community Forum

Hi all,

Thanks very much to everyone for their work here. I am trying to compile on my mac book pro running High Sierra (10.13.6). I have tried to download yambo-5.2.1 and have tried using gfortran 6.3 and gfortran 8. I am attaching the complie_yambo.log, the bottom of it says:

-I/Users/abrown/Downloads/Yambo/yambo-5.2.1/include/version mod_xc_functionals.f90
mod_xc_functionals.f90:15:5:

use xc_f03_lib_m
1
Fatal Error: Can't open module file ‘xc_f03_lib_m.mod’ for reading at (1): No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

a little earlier in the compilation, it said this, so I tried to get the latest libxc-5.2.3.tar.gz: file but it didn't seem to find it (same error) no matter where I put it!:

[libxc-5.2.3] download
*** Unable to download libxc-5.2.3. Test whether curl or wget is installed and working,
*** if you have direct access to the internet.
*** If not, copy libxc-5.2.3.tar.gz into extlibs/archive/

chmod: /Users/abrown/Downloads/Yambo/yambo-5.2.1/lib/external/gfortran/mpifort/lib*/*xc*a: No such file or directory
[lib/slatec] slatec (setup)


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Dear Adrian,

compilation on Mac are not trivial.
To overcome your problem, you can try to specify the paths where libxc are installed using
./configure -with-libxc-libdir=<path> --with-libxc-includedir=<path>
Best,

Hi Daniele,

Thanks for the help here! I am still working on getting the code compiled on my Mac with a fair but of effort.

Here is a note for other potential future problem solvers - I found that the process of doing make distclean actually deleted the libxc-5.2.3 file, and replaced it with a file that make core was not wanting (libxc-5.2.1) making it very confusing for me because I had to find the correct files on line, and then place the file after /configure and before make core in the actual directory needed (/lib/archive/) rather than the one it suggested (extlibs/archive).

Also, I found I had to use gcc 6.2 rather than gcc11.2.

Anyway, thanks for the help and I look forward to raising more issues as they come to hand!

Cheers,

Adrian
