How to compile the MPI version of LAMMPS on the Fedora system?

Dear all,

I can not make the MPI version of LAMMPS run correctly on my laptop with Fedora 20. I’ve tried tens of times, following the manual and other people’s experience, but I’m failed in the end. Could anyone tell me how to build it? The manual does not tell the details and I’m helpless right now.

Thanks a lot and best wishes,

Jian from CU, Boulder

Dear all,

I can not make the MPI version of LAMMPS run correctly on my laptop with
Fedora 20. I've tried tens of times, following the manual and other people's
experience, but I'm failed in the end. Could anyone tell me how to build it?

well, what you need to do is described in the manual. lots of people
have done so successfully simply by following those instructions.

The manual does not tell the details and I'm helpless right now.

sorry, but i disagree on your assessment of the manual. the manual
*does* provides all the details necessary. what is missing here are
*your* details describing where things went wrong on your side, what
it is exactly that you tried, what level of experience in compiling
applications you have and whether you have been able to
compile/install any other parallel programs from source.

when people have problems then it is mostly because of them lacking
basic (linux) compiling experience, and that is not something that is
the job of an application manual like the LAMMPS manual to provide.
there are plenty of other resources for that.

that all being said, why don't you just install a precompiled RPM? no
hassle and it is guaranteed to be compatible.

Dear Axel,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion and timely reply. I’m sorry for the unconsciously offence. The LAAMPS as well as your work is amazing and respectable. I’m a new learner of Linux and LAMMPS. And I hope you will help us as usual.

Thanks again and best regards,

We still cannot help if you do not mention exactly where compilation failed for you. What are the error messages the compiler gives you? Can you get make to run the compiler at all? We are not psychic so we can’t help you unless you give us this information…
