severity 921784 normal retitle 921784 gromacs: unhelpful error message from mpicxx.openmpi thanks
After some tests, I believe the most probably reason for the failure I got was lack of disk space. Sorry for the false positive, I usually measure how much disk space is required and only try in a machine which has enough. Because this was a new upstream release, I was still using the disk estimation from the previous version. I've put the full build log which motivated this report here: https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/gromacs/ I think there is still a problem here: Why is there not any "disk full" message anywhere? Why just "ld returned 1 exit status"? Should not also say the reason, like any other compiler usually does? Perhaps this should be reassigned to whatever package contains the "mpicxx.openmpi" command? Thanks.
