error message: nrnmpi_dynam.h: No such file or directory

Post by ibuki »

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to install the newest version of NEURON on my osx 10.7 with openmpi. Everything seemed fine to me until I ran into this:

I followed the instructions on this page: http://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/downl ... ilestd_osx
and I was at step "D. Install NEURON" under the second section (II. Installing InterViews and NEURON.) The error messages appeared after I use the "make".

Thank you for your attention and I appreciate your help in advance!

I need to fix a make dependency problem when the configure option --with-paranrn=dynamic is used. To work around the problem
cd nrn/src/nrnmpi
sh mkdynam.sh
Then you can go back to the top level build folder and type 'make ; make install ; make after_install'

Thank you! This works perfectly fine.

However, when I was trying to do the test run, it gives an error message like this:

Code: Select all

Ibukis-MacBook-Pro:parallel ibuki$ mpirun -n 4 $N/$CPU/bin/nrniv -mpi test0.hoc
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun was unable to launch the specified application as it could not access
or execute an executable:

Executable: //bin/nrniv
Node: Ibukis-MacBook-Pro

while attempting to start process rank 0.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 total processes failed to start
I'm sorry if this question sounds way too silly.

Thanks again!

A path problem; step "E" should have taken care of that. Did you create a nrnenv in $HOME/neuron/ with these contents?

Code: Select all

export IV=$IDIR/
export N=$IDIR/nrn
export CPU=x86_64
export PATH=$IV/$CPU/bin:$N/$CPU/bin:$PATH
What happens when you execute
echo $N
or
echo $CPU
?
Where is nrniv actually located?

Hello Ted,

1. Yes, I have a file like that named "nrnenv", which includes the content:

Code: Select all

export IV=$IDIR/iv
export N=$IDIR/nrn
export CPU=x86_64
export PATH=$IV/$CPU/bin:$N/$CPU/bin:$PATH

Code: Select all

ibukis-MacBook-Pro:neuron ibuki$ ls
iv	nrn	nrnenv
I'm sorry, but should the

Code: Select all

export IV=$IDIR/
be

Code: Select all

export IV=$IDIR/iv
?

2.

Code: Select all

ibukis-MacBook-Pro:neuron ibuki$ echo $N
/nrn
ibukis-MacBook-Pro:neuron ibuki$ echo $CPU
x86_64
3.

Code: Select all

/Users/ibuki/neuron/nrn/src/nrniv 
Please let me know if you have any further questions, thank you!

Does NEURON start if you execute this command:
/Users/ibuki/neuron/nrn/src/nrniv
?

No, I don't think it works:

Code: Select all

ibukis-MacBook-Pro:~ ibuki$ /Users/ibuki/neuron/nrn/src/nrniv
-bash: /Users/ibuki/neuron/nrn/src/nrniv: is a directory

What is the value of $IDIR ? For the 7.3 version on the mac I generally use (bash shell)
export IDIR=/Applications/NEURON-7.3
Anyway, the installed executables would be in $IDIR/nrn/x86_64/bin so in a terminal you should be able to run
/Applications/NEURON-7.3/nrn/x86_64/bin/nrniv
Note that $IDIR/nrn is what you presumably used for configure's --prefix .

Yes, this command seems to work.

Any further comments on how to make the mpi stuff work?

Thank you!
