[Trilinos-Users] [EXTERNAL] Trilinos install issue

[Bradley, Andrew Michael]

Hi Josiah,

It appears from the files you sent that CMAKE_AR is not being set. Hence when cmake tests whether it can build a .a file (an archive of .o files), the "ar" part comes up empty:

        /usr/local/cmake/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/VerifyFortran.dir/link.txt --verbose=1
        "" qc libVerifyFortran.a  CMakeFiles/VerifyFortran.dir/VerifyFortran.f.o

The empty quotes should instead of the path to "ar", the system's archiver.

In more detail, in the CMakeCache.txt you sent,
       CMAKE_AR:FILEPATH=
whereas it should be something like
      CMAKE_AR:FILEPATH=/usr/bin/ar
Normally this variable is automatically detected. Since it is not in your case, there's something wrong with the dev environment.

What happens if you type
        $ which ar
Is anything found? Is /usr/bin in $PATH?

It may be that before you can configure Trilinos, you need to work out a few issues with the dev environment. In that case, I recommend working through a few basic cmake example projects. Googling "cmake examples" is helpful. Once you can get a basic project to configure, then go back to configuring Trilinos.

Cheers,
Andrew

Dear Sir or Madam,


I tried to install trilinos-11.12.1 on ubuntu-14.04 LTS, it shows a bug and I can't find the solution. This bug is not because of the version of trilinos because I have tried 12.0 and 12.10, they also shows the same bug. Maybe it is very easy but I am totally  a newbie of ubuntu. I attach files to let you know my bug in detail. "do-configure" is the code I input in terminal. The other files are error files. Could you please help me with this issue?


Thank you very much in advance
Josiah
