Problem with VASP 4.6 and libmkl_p4.so

#1 Post by Tally » Wed Oct 21, 2009 3:20 pm

Dear all,

I am installing VASP 4.6 using ifc 9.1.036 and mkl 8.1.1, OS Kubuntu 8.04 (32 bit)
I have been using this combination of compiler, mkl and OS before (same PC) and everything worked fine, But now VASP seems to compile correctly, but does not execute due to not finding libmkl_p4.so.

Code: Select all

/vasp: error while loading shared libraries: libmkl_p4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[code] 

libmkl_p4.so exists in the mkl directory and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set correectly (This was the only advice I could find on the internet relating to this problem).

Here is my makefile:.

[code]

.SUFFIXES: .inc .f .f90 .F
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Makefile for Intel Fortran compiler for P4 systems
#
# The makefile was tested only under Linux on Intel platforms
# (Suse 5.3- Suse 9.0)
# the followin compiler versions have been tested
# 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1 (some 8.0 versions seem to fail compiling the code)
# presently we recommend version 7.1 or 7.0, since these
# releases have been used to compile the present code versions
#
# it might be required to change some of library pathes, since
# LINUX installation vary a lot
# Hence check ***ALL**** options in this makefile very carefully
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# BLAS must be installed on the machine
# there are several options:
# 1) very slow but works:
#   retrieve the lapackage from ftp.netlib.org
#   and compile the blas routines (BLAS/SRC directory)
#   please use g77 or f77 for the compilation. When I tried to
#   use pgf77 or pgf90 for BLAS, VASP hang up when calling
#   ZHEEV  (however this was with lapack 1.1 now I use lapack 2.0)
# 2) most desirable: get an optimized BLAS
#
# the two most reliable packages around are presently:
# 3a) Intels own optimised BLAS (PIII, P4, Itanium)
#     http://developer.intel.com/software/products/mkl/
#   this is really excellent when you use Intel CPU's
#
# 3b) or obtain the atlas based BLAS routines
#     http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/
#   you certainly need atlas on the Athlon, since the  mkl
#   routines are not optimal on the Athlon.
#   If you want to use atlas based BLAS, check the lines around LIB=
#
# 3c) mindblowing fast SSE2 (4 GFlops on P4, 2.53 GHz)

# You must *not* compile mpi with g77/f77, because f77/g77
# appends *two* underscores to symbols that contain already an
# underscore (i.e. MPI_SEND becomes mpi_send__).  The pgf90/ifc
# compilers however append only one underscore.
# Precompiled mpi version will also not work !!!
#
# We found that mpich.1.2.1 and lam-6.5.X to lam-7.0.4 are stable
# mpich.1.2.1 was configured with
#  ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/mpich_nodvdbg -fc="pgf77 -Mx,119,0x200000"  \

# please note that you might be able to use a lam or mpich version

VASP is the first and only program I ever compiled and I am by no means an expert. Somewhere I read, linking libmkl_p4.so statically may help, but I could not find out, how to do this. So if anyone can tell me how to do it, I will try it.
If anyone has any other idea, how to solve my problem, I would be very greatful. I have run out of ideas and advice from the internet :(

Problem with VASP 4.6 and libmkl_p4.so

#2 Post by pafell » Thu Oct 22, 2009 12:57 pm

What is the output of command:
ldd vasp
(run from catalog where vasp binary is installed).
If LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set up correctly, you should see linking with Intel's libraries, and code should run.

To compile statically I use following settings:
#(empty LAPACK - paths in BLAS)
LAPACK=
BLAS= -Wl,-rpath,/opt/intel/libraries/mkl/9.1.023/lib/em64t \
-L/opt/intel/libraries/mkl/9.1.023/lib/em64t \
-Wl,--start-group \
/opt/intel/libraries/mkl/9.1.023/lib/em64t/libmkl_lapack.a \
/opt/intel/libraries/mkl/9.1.023/lib/em64t/libmkl_em64t.a \
/opt/intel/libraries/mkl/9.1.023/lib/em64t/libguide.a \
-Wl,--end-group -lpthread
FCL=$(FC) -static

It should be the same with mkl8 if my memory is not that bad.

if the libraries are in the directory defined in the path, please also check if the libraries you want to load are compatible (eg 32/64 bit mode, installed with an appropriate compiler (release),...
