Installing LIGGGHTS 2 in MacOS

Submitted by Tamoghna on Tue, 01/22/2013 - 09:07

Hi!

I was trying to install LIGGGHTS 2 in MacOS using macports using instructions in http://letstryscience.wordpress.com/2012/02/04/dont-reinvent-the-wheel-c...

But I was getting the following errors.....

Could anybody help please??

That's a strange error. Could you post your compiler version and flags, like this:


$ mpic++ --version

Hi!

Here is the output:

Hi,
Had the same problem when using clang. A QuickFix is simply changing the affected lines to:
this->memory->template create(tmp,NUM_NODES,3,"MultiNodeMesh:tmp");
and
this->memory->template destroy(tmp);

Hi all,

thanks for the feed-back. Template stuff is often handled differently by different compilers. i'll incorporate the fix for 2.2.4

Cheers, Christoph

Hi Christoph!
I tried to install 2.2.4 but it did nt have macports makefile. So I tried with mac_mpi.... I got some more error...!!

mpic++ -O -MMD -MG -DLAMMPS_GZIP -DOMPI_SKIP_MPICXX -DFFT_FFTW -I/sw/include -M angle.cpp > angle.d
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-MMD'
mpic++ -O -MMD -MG -DLAMMPS_GZIP -DOMPI_SKIP_MPICXX -DFFT_FFTW -I/sw/include -c angle.cpp
clang: error: option '-MG' requires '-M' or '-MM'
make[1]: *** [angle.o] Error 1
make: *** [mac_mpi] Error 2

Please ignore the above comment. The problem was solved by using macports_mpi makefile from the website.

hi,
I downloaded the make file. However, I met a makefile 81 error, it says 'try to using tab instead of 8 spaces'. The mac os is mountain lion (10.8.2). It is 64 bit defaultly. Anyone met this problem?

Or could you please send me your working makefile under mac? my email: q.hou2012 (at)gmail dot com
Thanks, QF
