[Pw_forum] installing OpenMPI and Quantum Espresso on a Mac OS X system

Wed Jun 10 16:03:14 CEST 2009

PWSCF users,

I am trying to get Quantum Espresso going on my Mac.  I am completely  
new to this kind of thing, but think I have done everything correctly  
yet the Espresso config process says, "Parallel environment not  
detected (is this a parallel machine?)" every time I run it.

Here are my particulars:
1.  MacPro with 2 x 3 GHz Quad-core Xeon-Intel processors, running OS  
X (10.5.7)

2.  I downloaded gfortran from MacResearch.org.  It is installed in / 
usr/local/bin.

3.  I downloaded OpenMPI version 1.3.2, unpacked and installed it with  
the following command in /usr/local,

sudo ./configure --with-mpi-f90-size=medium FC=gfortran F77=gfortran  
FCFLAGS=-m64 FFLAGS=-m64 CXXFLAGS=-m64 CFLAGS=-m64

Everything seems to be fine, with the libraries in /usr/local/lib and  
the binaries in /usr/local/bin.

4.  I downloaded Quantum Espresso v4.0.5 and unpacked it in /usr/ 
local.  I ran the config as follows:

sudo ./configure LD_LIBS=/usr/local/lib MPI_LIBS=/usr/local/lib  
FFT_LIBS=/usr/local/lib MPIF77=mpif77 MPIF90=mpif90 ARCH=mac686  
MPICC=mpic++

--------------------------------------------------------------------
ESPRESSO can take advantage of several optimized numerical libraries
(essl, fftw, mkl...).  This configure script attempts to find them,
but may fail if they have been installed in non-standard locations.
If a required library is not found, the local copy will be compiled.

The following libraries have been found:
   BLAS_LIBS= -latlas
   LAPACK_LIBS= -llapack
   FFT_LIBS=/usr/local/lib
   MPI_LIBS=/usr/local/lib
Please check if this is what you expect.

If any libraries are missing, you may specify a list of directories
to search and retry, as follows:
   ./configure LIBDIRS="list of directories, separated by spaces"

Parallel environment not detected (is this a parallel machine?).
Configured for compilation of serial executables.

For more info, read the ESPRESSO User's Guide (Doc/users-guide.tex).

My PATH is :   /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/ 
lib:/usr/X11/bin

and I have set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib  
in my startup shell script.

I have not "made" Espresso yet because of the "parallel environment  
not detected" comment.

Does anyone see the mistake I am making?

I'd really appreciate any guidance whatsoever.

Michael
