Error in compilation on Ubuntu 22.04

I'm trying to build ngsolve with MUMPS, MPI, and MKL on two 64-bit machines running Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 respectively. (I'm using virtual machine instances for now, in case it matters).

I managed to get things up and running on 20.04, but not on 22. Particularly, I can configure the make file with no error, but make raises a number of errors in ana_orderings_wrappers_m.F. Something like the following (lines:315:39):

Error: Rank mismatch between actual argument at (1) and actual argument at (2) (scalar and rank-1)
make[6]: *** [Makefile:381: ana_orderings_wrappers_m.o] Error 1
make[5]: *** [Makefile:20: c] Error 2
make[4]: *** [Makefile:40: mumps_lib] Error 2
make[3]: *** [Makefile:18: c] Error 2
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/project_mumps.dir/build.make:86: dependencies/src/project_mumps-stamp/project_mumps-build] Error 2
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:254: CMakeFiles/project_mumps.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:156: all] Error 2

These are my steps for installing ngsolve on Ubuntu 20.04:

• I installed the dependencies mentioned in the docs.
• In addition, I installed all MP implementations, as well as MKL as follows:
  • sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev mpich intel-mkl-full
• I added the installation locations to my path so that make can find these packages later (although, probably I could have given them as argument too)
• After a number of trials, turned out for running the example files I need to install mpi4python and mkl (in my python environment) which I did using pip3.
  • python3 -m pip install mpi4py mkl
• And finally configured my makefile as follows:
  • Code:

    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${BASEDIR}/ngsolve-install -DUSE_MKL=ON -DMKL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/mkl -DMKL_STATIC=OFF -DMKL_SDL=OFF -DMKL_MULTI_THREADED=OFF -DUSE_MPI=ON -DUSE_OCC=ON -DUSE_MUMPS=ON -DBUILD_STUB_FILES=OFF ${BASEDIR}/ngsolve-src

My questions:
1. Why isn't this procedure work in Ubuntu 22.04? It seems to me the code is not compiled. But unfortunately, my understanding of Fortran is next to nothing.
2. I had a painful experience with installing MPICH and openMP side by side, especially on a cluster, and I reckon that what I have done above is actually a bad practice. How can I avoid that?
4. I failed to installed with BLAS/LAPACK and that's why I switched to MKL. But is it necessary? Can I avoid these extra installations?

Thanks!

Hi,

I had the same problems. Before the cmake, I tried his comman line:

export FFLAGS="-fallow-argument-mismatch"

but it did not help. Are there any new achievements?

Best, Mario

Hi,

I am also no Fortran expert. Since your problem is about building Mumps (the only dependency here with Fortran source code), I suggest to disable it first and fix all other issues (if any).
Concerning Mumps: Did you try different Fortran compilers/versions? Which one are you using?

Best,
Matthias

This error can be fixed by the following patch:

diff --git a/cmake/external_projects/mumps.inc b/cmake/external_projects/mumps.inc

To be honest, I have not tested this patch extensively.
It worked on our systems but I would use it with caution.
