compile and run on Debian Jessie

Post by bernd »

Hi,

I'm new to Elmerfem and would like to give it a try. I cloned the devel github. Cmake and make did quite well, from my point of view. I'm at

Code: Select all

But when I start the solver binary ElmerSolver_mpi from build directory with an example I get the following error. It seams I'm not the first one with this but I could not solve it myself.

here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):

Hi,
I am usually using these commands for compiling:

Code: Select all

cmake -DWITH_MPI=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../elmerfem
make -j
sudo make install
...and running:

Code: Select all

mpirun -n 1 ElmerSolver_mpi
Can you try?

Thanks for your hints. I compiled with:

Code: Select all

cmake ../elmerfem -DWITH_MPI=True -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
run two example I found with:

Code: Select all

mpirun -n 1   /home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src/ElmerSolver_mpi  BDM.sif
or 
mpirun -n 1   /home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src/ElmerSolver_mpi   calculix_canti/case.sif
On both example some file is missing:

Code: Select all

hugo@ahorn:~/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build$ mpirun -n 1   /home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src/ElmerSolver_mpi   calculix_canti/case.sif

ERROR:: InitializeElementDescriptions: elements.def not found
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun has exited due to process rank 0 with PID 18180 on
node ahorn exiting improperly. There are two reasons this could occur:

1. this process did not call "init" before exiting, but others in
the job did. This can cause a job to hang indefinitely while it waits
for all processes to call "init". By rule, if one process calls "init",
then ALL processes must call "init" prior to termination.

2. this process called "init", but exited without calling "finalize".
By rule, all processes that call "init" MUST call "finalize" prior to
exiting or it will be considered an "abnormal termination"

This may have caused other processes in the application to be
terminated by signals sent by mpirun (as reported here).

The file is in the sources and in build directory, but the solver does not find it.

Code: Select all

$ locate elements.def
/home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src/elements.def
/home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/elmerfem/fem/src/elements.def
/home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-release/build/fem/src/elements.def
/home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-release/elmerfem/fem/src/elements.def
$
seams because I have not set some variables ... ?! I did not install the binary. Could someone point me to a some documentation about what to do to run the elmer solver without installation.

Please see:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4058#p15028

I used the following line before starting elmer but I think this is no more necessary:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/elmersolver

Thanks for the answer, I'm a step further ...

I used:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src/modules
run my example

Code: Select all

Hi Bernd,
Please run the solver in the sub directory "calculix_canti".
Otherwise is the mesh defined in the header of case.sif (Mesh DB "." ".") not found.
Alternatively you can also specify the full directory-path there.

that did the trick ... Thanks.

Code: Select all

cd /home/hugo/Documents/projekte--BIM--opendev/dev--elmerfem/calculix_canti

# error, can not find elements.def
export ELMER_HOME=/home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src

# error, ResultOutputSolve: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src/modules

mpirun -n 1   /home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src/ElmerSolver_mpi   case.sif

thanks I was missing this.

BTW: how about run elmerfem without installation? What do you do when you do developing? Install after every compile?

I can run the example attached without installation by:

Code: Select all

cd /home/hugo/Documents/projekte--BIM--opendev/dev--elmerfem/calculix_canti
export ELMER_HOME=/home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src/modules
mpirun -n 1   /home/hugo/Documents/dev/elmerfem/elmerfem-dev/build/fem/src/ElmerSolver_mpi   case.sif
