This build was done on a VirtualBox virtual machine with a clean install of CentOS 6.9. The compiler and library packages available for CentOS 6.9 are quite old, so it is necessary to build GridPACK prerequisites from source and newer versions need to be avoided. This build was done with the a stock compiler (GNU 4.4), but, it in at least one other case, GridPACK was built using Devtoolset-4 (GNU 5.3).

In this description, prerequisite software is installed in an arbitrary path stored in the shell variable `$prefix`.

Requisite System Software

Some needed software can be installed with system packages:

sudo yum install environment-modules openmpi-1.10 openmpi-1.10-devel gcc-c++ cmake bzip2-devel git

Before continuing, it will be necessary to either open another terminal and proceed there, or log out and log in. This makes the module command available for use.

OpenMPI is installed as a "module". In order to use the compiler wrappers the OpenMPI "module" needs to be "loaded":

module load openmpi-1.10-x86_64

Boost, version 1.54.0

Modern versions of Boost will probably not work here (especially Serialization and MPI). So, an old version is needed.

prefix="$HOME/gridpack"
module load openmpi-1.10-x86_64
rm -f ~/user-config.jam
rm -f ./tools/build/v2/user-config.jam
echo "using mpi : mpicxx ;" >> ./tools/build/v2/user-config.jam
sh ./bootstrap.sh \
    --prefix="$prefix" \
    --without-icu \
    --with-toolset=gcc \
    --without-libraries=python,log
./b2 -a -d+2 link=static stage
./b2 -a -d+2 link=static install

Global Arrays, version 5.6.5

Modern versions of Global Arrays work fine.

prefix="$HOME/gridpack"
module load openmpi-1.10-x86_64
sh autogen.sh
./configure \
    --enable-cxx \
    --disable-f77 \
    --enable-i4 \
    --with-mpi \
    --with-mpi-ts \
    --enable-autodetect=yes \
    --prefix=$prefix \
    --without-blas \
    --without-lapack \
    --without-scalapack \
    --enable-shared=no \
    --enable-static=yes \
    MPICC=mpicc MPICXX=mpicxx MPIF77=mpif90 \
    MPIEXEC=mpiexec MPIRUN=mpirun NPROCS=4
make
make -k check
make install

PETSc, version 3.6.4

For some reason, more recent PETSc versions were not recognized by the GridPACK CMake configuration, possibly because of the old compiler. This version appears to work.

prefix="$HOME/gridpack"
module load openmpi-1.10-x86_64
PETSC_DIR="$prefix/petsc-3.6.4"
export PETSC_DIR
python ./config/configure.py \
python ./config/configure.py \
    PETSC_ARCH=linux-gnu44-real-opt \
    --with-prefix="$prefix/" \
    --with-mpi=1 \
    --with-cc="mpicc" \
    --with-fc="mpif90" \
    --with-cxx="mpicxx" \
    --with-c++-support=1 \
    --with-c-support=0 \
    --with-fortran=1 \
    --with-scalar-type=real \
    --with-precision=double \
    --with-clanguage=c++ \
    --with-fortran-kernels=generic \
    --with-valgrind=0 \
    --download-superlu_dist \
    --download-parmetis \
    --download-metis \
    --download-f2cblaslapack=1 \
    --download-mumps=0 \
    --download-scalapack=0 \
    --with-shared-libraries=0 \
    --with-x=0 \
    --with-mpirun=mpiexec \
    --with-mpiexec=mpiexec \
    --with-debugging=0
make PETSC_DIR=/files0/perksoft/petsc-3.6.4 PETSC_ARCH=linux-gnu48-real-opt all
make PETSC_DIR=/files0/perksoft/petsc-3.6.4 PETSC_ARCH=linux-gnu48-real-opt test
