One of the generated build.make files looks like this, ```auto 62 63 sopalin/parsec/pastix_sparsec.h: ../sopalin/parsec/Bad\ replacement\ pair\ \ 8\ in\ normal 64 pastix_zparsec.h 65 sopalin/parsec/pastix_sparsec.h: ../cmake_modules/morse_cmake/modules/precision_generator/codegen.py 66 sopalin/parsec/pastix_sparsec.h: ../cmake_modules/morse_cmake/modules/precision_generator/subs.py 67 @$(CMAKE_COMMAND) -E cmake_echo_color --switch=$(COLOR) --blue --bold --progress-dir=/usr/local/PaStiX/pastix_src/build/CMakeFiles --progress-num=$(CMAKE_PROGRESS_1) "Generating pastix_sparsec.h" ``` or does it have anything to do with word wrap setting? Thanks for your advice. ---

Seems that using python2.7 instead of python3.8 solved the above issue. However, I got another error about MPI\_Status. > [73%] Building C object CMakeFiles/pastix.dir/sopalin/coeftab.c.o > [75%] Building C object CMakeFiles/pastix.dir/sopalin/schur.c.o > In file included from /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/include/pastix.h:39:0, > from /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/common/common.h:22, > from /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/bcsc/bvec.c:15: > /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/include/pastix/nompi.h:21:22: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers > #define MPI\_Datatype int > ^ > /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/include/pastix/nompi.h:25:22: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers > #define MPI\_Comm int > ^ > /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/include/pastix/nompi.h:22:22: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers > #define MPI\_Op int > ^ > /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/include/pastix/nompi.h:23:22: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers > #define MPI\_Request int > ^ > /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/include/pastix/nompi.h:26:22: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers > #define MPI\_Fint int > ^ > In file included from /usr/local/include/parsec/datatype.h:13:0, > from /usr/local/include/parsec.h:16, > from /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/bcsc/bvec.c:19: > /usr/local/include/mpi.h:587:16: error: redefinition of ‘struct MPI\_Status’ > typedef struct MPI\_Status { > ^ ~~~~~~~~~ > In file included from /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/include/pastix.h:39:0, > from /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/common/common.h:22, > from /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/bcsc/bvec.c:15: > /usr/local/PaStiX/pastix\_src/include/pastix/nompi.h:88:16: note: originally defined here > typedef struct MPI\_Status{ > ^ ~~~~~~~~~ I installed openmpi before installing parsec. ---

With adding `-DPASTIX_WITH_MPI=ON ` in make\_pastix.sh, it seems OK. Then when compiling ccx\_2.19 with pastix, same error as [kmallick](https://calculix.discourse.group/u/kmallick) had. > [@Cannot compile ccx\_2.17 with PaStiX](https://calculix.discourse.group/t/cannot-compile-ccx-2-17-with-pastix/288): > > I need some help. I am using stock source of ccx 2.17 and following README to compile in Ubuntu 20.04. I have gone though all the steps to make OpenBLAS, hwloc, parsec, scotch and pastix. Ihave installed CUDA 11.1 and modified the make files as needed. When I run Makefile\_i8 I get the following error: /usr/bin/ld: …/…/…/PaStiX/pastix\_i8/lib/libpastix.a(isched\_hwloc.c.o): undefined reference to symbol ‘hwloc\_bitmap\_iszero’ /usr/bin/ld: …/…/…/PaStiX/hwloc\_i8/lib/libhwloc.so: error adding symbol… > /usr/bin/ld: …/…/…/PaStiX/pastix\_i8/lib/libpastix.a(isched\_hwloc.c.o): undefined reference to symbol ‘hwloc\_bitmap\_iszero’ > /usr/bin/ld: …/…/…/PaStiX/hwloc\_i8/lib/libhwloc.so: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line > collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status > make: \*\*\* [Makefile\_i8:39: ccx\_2.19\_i8] Error 1 Unfortunately, I didn’t get succeed when adding …/…/…/PaStiX/hwloc\_i8/lib/libhwloc.so to the end as Kmallick did. ---

Do you have a powerful GPU? With a lot of trial and error I got some version working, but speedup was rather slow using older K80 gpu. ---

Finally, I got succeed with a bit modification in Makefile\_i8. The error seemed to be caused by circular dependency among libraries. ```auto LIBS = \ $(DIR)/spooles.a \ ../../../ARPACK/libarpack_INTEL.a \ $(PASTIX_LIBS) \ # -lpthread -lm -lc ccx_2.19_i8: $(OCCXMAIN) ccx_2.19.a $(LIBS) $(FC) -Wall -O2 -o $@ \ $(OCCXMAIN) ccx_2.19.a -Wl,--start-group $(LIBS) -Wl,--end-group -lpthread -lm -lc ``` There was an error when I tried to run ccx\_2.19\_i8, missing `libparsec.so.2`, which was solved by adding its path to the environment variable.
