[Trilinos-Users] Installing Trilinos

[Bartlett, Roscoe A.]

Nigel,

This Trilinos document is not being kept up to date but the TriBITS template tells you how to figure this out.  See:

    https://tribits.org/doc/TribitsBuildQuickRef.html#determine-the-list-of-packages-that-can-be-enabled

If you pipe the cmake STDOUT to a file, you can find the list of valid package names.

Subject: [Trilinos-Users] Installing Trilinos

Background - I am a sys admin at NIH.  We use CentOS6.  I have been asked by one of our researchers to install Trilinos, and to enable MPI, UFMPACK and SUPERLU.

I looked through http://trilinos.org/oldsite/TrilinosBuildQuickRef.html and tried to install it.  Firstly it demands a latest version of cmake than comes with CentOS6.  That was easily handled.  I have reached step 5.2.a of the Trilinos installation guide but I am now stuck.

I ran "./do-configure -DTrilinos_ENABLE_MPI=ON", where do-configure has this:

EXTRA_ARGS=$@

cmake \
  -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=DEBUG \
  -D TPL_ENABLE_MPI:BOOL=ON \
  -D Trilinos_ENABLE_TESTS:BOOL=ON \
  -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=usr/local/trilinos/11.12.1 \
  -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON \
  $EXTRA_ARGS \
  ../trilinos-11.12.1-Source

I get a *lot* of output. In there somewhere it says:

"WARNING:  There were no packages configured so no libraries or tests/examples will be built!"

Now admittedly that is only a warning, not an error, but it is sort of concerning.

5.2.a says this " where <TRIBITS_PACKAGE> is a valid SE Package name (see above)", but I can't work out where "see above" is referring to and therefore what an SE Package name means.  How should I proceed?
