MPICH3.1.3 installation error

[de_la_Calle__Alejand]

Hi there,

I am trying to install mopish version 3.1.3 in mac osx 10.10 Yosemite with intel compiler icc and ifort version 15. When I am building the source files, I get this error:

  GEN      lib/libpmpi.la
ifort: command line warning #10006: ignoring unknown option '-force_load,src/mpl/.libs/libmpl.a'
ifort: command line warning #10006: ignoring unknown option '-force_load,/Users/alejandrodelacallenegro/Downloads/mpich-3.1.3/src/openpa/src/.libs/libopa.a'
ifort: command line warning #10006: ignoring unknown option '-force_load,src/mpi/romio/.libs/libpromio.a'
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ranlib: object: lib/.libs/libpmpi.a(initthread.o) malformed object (section contents at offset 0 with a size of 1056, overlaps Mach-O headers at offset 0 with a size of 768)

I have contacted the mpich team, and they told me that they could build this version in Yosemite but with gcc compilers (so do I), so it must be an error with fort. Does anyone know what is the meaning of this error? I have also attached to this messages the configuration and the make outputs.

Thank you,

Alex

Hi,

I finally found the cause of the problem. libtool was somehow corrupted, so I install it again, and then I don't get this error anymore. I have install Xcode again, but I suppose that installing it from macports, homebrew or from source solves the problem as well.
