I am trying to compile ATLAS 3.10.1 using the instructions at http://www.pgroup.com/resources/atlas/atlas3932_pgi2010.htm. I follow the steps outlined to step 4, which is where I run the configure utility, which compiles the programs. At this point, the system fails. It seems that it first fails when it cannot find features.h. I would appreciate any suggesions.

Here is the output:

Hi Jim,

I just tried configuring ATLAS 3.10 with PGI 13.2 on my system, and it was fine. It seem so me to be some OS header file issue the following:

[Jim Petersen]

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.2. i have the features.h. But the system didn't have the .h file referenced here. I found that i could instiall it using (sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386).

It seems to have compiled. Now, when i execute the "make build" command, it is stopping with an error report. I will now seek help from the ATLAS support team, as this seems to be unrelated to PGI compilers at this stage.

Thanks.

While attempting to install ATLAS, the "make build" step stops at the following:

/opt/pgi/linux86-64/13.2/bin/pgcc -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -O2 -fno-schedule-insns2 -mavx -m64 -x assembler-with-cpp -DL2SIZE=4194304 -I/home/jn_petersen/atlas/ATLAS3.10.1/my_build_dir/include -I/home/jn_petersen/atlas/ATLAS3.10.1/my_build_dir/..//include -I/home/jn_petersen/atlas/ATLAS3.10.1/my_build_dir/..//include/contrib -DAdd_ -DF77_INTEGER=int -DStringSunStyle -DATL_OS_Linux -DATL_ARCH_Corei2 -DATL_CPUMHZ=2001 -DATL_AVX -DATL_SSE3 -DATL_SSE2 -DATL_SSE1 -DATL_USE64BITS -DATL_GAS_x8664 -m64 -DATL_FULL_LAPACK -DATL_NCPU=24 -DDREAL -o ATL_dset_xp1yp0aXbX.o -c ATL_dset_xp1yp0aXbX.c

pgcc-Error-Unknown switch: -x
make[6]: *** [ATL_dset_xp1yp0aXbX.o] Error 1

These options work with gcc, but not with the pgcc compiler. Consequently, there seems to be an incompatibility between ATLAS and the pgi compilers.

Suggestions?

Hi Jim,

I've tried multiple option to ATLAS's configure script, but it seems that they have hard coded "gcc" and some of it's options into the build. I was able to work around the error you're seeing by setting all the "-F" options (i.e. xc, gc, sk, dk, etc.) to "-O2", but later in the build a "-x " flag is added which we don't recognize. I tried adding our "-noswitcherror" to have pgcc ignore flags it doesn't recognize, but I then get a syntax error later in the build.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to work around these issues and would recommend you use gcc instead of pgcc since that what ATLAS 3.10 is expecting.
