“make check” fails when compiling parallel HDF5 with intel compilers!

[Farrokh_A_]

Greetings,

I have problem in "make check" of compiling parallel HDF5 using Intel Compilers on CentOS 6.5 64bit. I exactly follow the procedure described in this page but still get this error:

Testing  t_pflush1

You can use environment variable HDF5_PARAPREFIX to run parallel test files in a
different directory or to add file type prefix. E.g.,
   HDF5_PARAPREFIX=pfs:/PFS/user/me
   export HDF5_PARAPREFIX

any idea?

Hi,

Please try with Intel(R) Compiler, the log shows that you are using GCC for MPI version.

To use Intel(R) Compiler you need to use mpiicc instead of mpicc.

Also Intel(R) MPI Library version 5.0.1 is quite old, please consider upgrade to version 2017 Update 2 https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-mpi-library/
