Hi David, During configure you will get a warning stating that the required libraries were not detected at the given location and MEEP will compile without hdf5 support. You need to check the configure output carefully.
I always set the LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, for me this would be: export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/gnu_builds/blas -L/usr/local/gnu_builds/lapack -L/usr/local/gnu_builds/hdf5/mpi/lib -L/usr/local/gnu_builds/harminv/lib -L/usr/local/gnu_builds/libctl/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/gnu_builds/gsl/include -I/usr/local/gnu_builds/gsl-1.13/include -I/usr/local/gnu_builds/hdf5/mpi/include -I/usr/local/gnu_builds/libctl/include -I/usr/local/gnu_builds/harminv/include" note that blas, lapack, harminv and libctl are not required but can be useful. From what I can see in the commands you posted, you are not configuring with libctl, although it's not required, it means you can't run MEEP with the Scheme interface. then I run configure: ./configure --prefix=$HOME/source/meep-1.1.1/src --with-mpi --with-libctl=/usr/local/gnu_builds/libctl/share/libctl/ Hope it helps, Arthur On 23 November 2010 17:07, David Lively <[email protected]> wrote: > We compiled/installed Meep with: > > ./configure --prefix=/grid/software/meep-1.1.1 > MPICXX=/usr/mpi/gcc/mvapich2-1.4.1/bin/mpicxx > MPILIBS=/usr/mpi/gcc/mvapich2-1.4.1/lib --with-mpi > --with-hdf5=/grid/software/hdf5-1.8.3 > > And everything appears to work correctly, until it gets to the part where > it needs to save an H5 file.
