Hello PETSc team, Trying to configure petsc on ubuntu with installed mpich (apt-get install mpich2) like that:
./configure --with-petsc-arch=mpich-gcc-double-debug-f --with-fortran-interfaces=1 --download-mumps --download-metis --download-scalapack --download-blacs --with-scalar-type=real --download-blas-lapack --with-precision=double --download-parmetis --with-shared-libraries=1 Give me following error: /usr/bin/ld: /home/lib/petsc-3.3-p2/mpich-gcc-double-debug-f/lib/libmpich.a(allreduce.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `MPID_Op_builtin' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /home/lib/petsc-3.3-p2/mpich-gcc-double-debug-f/lib/libmpich.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libparmetis/libparmetis.so] Error 1 make[1]: *** [libparmetis/CMakeFiles/parmetis.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 I'm not sure what should I recompile with -fPIC and would it help at all? This doesn't happen when using --download-mpich though. Thanks. -- Regards, Alexander
