[mpich-discuss] Compilation: MPICH3 and libxml2

[Mogesh Naidoo]

Hi Junchao,
 
Many thanks! 
The compile is now successful.
I still have to test with WRF now.
 
regards,
Mogesh.

It seems the compilation was stuck at hwloc. Try export these two env variables and compile again.

HWLOC_LIBXML2_CFLAGS = -I<path to your xml2 headers, such as /usr/include/libxml2>
HWLOC_LIBXML2_LIBS = -L<path to your xml2 library> -lxml2

If it does not work, could you paste your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Hi,
I'm having trouble compiling MPICH-3.0.4.
I'm using GNU 4.7.2 compilers.
My configure = 
./configure --prefix=/export/home/mnaidoo/software/mpich/mpich3_GNU --with-gnu-ld 2>&1 | tee c.txt
Configure is successful with no errors.
The make fails with 
"libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libxml2.la' is not a valid libtool archive"
This occurs when trying:
"CCLD libhwloc_embedded.la"
So there's a libxml2.la in /usr/lib64, but there's also one in another directory.
I add this directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and I still get the same error.
How do I tell make to use the libxml2.la in the other directory?
regards,
Mogesh.
