Error while installing PETSc

[Pavitra Murru]

Hello,

I get the following message when I finish running the commands specified under the section of PETSc installation:

UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS    (see configure.log for details):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unable to download METIS
Failed to download METIS

Could someone help me with this?
Thank you.

Regards,
Pavitra

Not without more details from your configure.log file (as the error message says). The download of Metis could have failed for any number of different reasons...

This is what is given in the configure.log file

Pavitra,

Can you tell us more about what you're trying to do?  Are you on a workstation?  Cluster?

Is there a reason you're not using one of our precompiled packages?

Derek

According to PETSc build system, metis is trying to be downloaded from the following url:

https://bitbucket.org/petsc/pkg-metis/get/v5.1.0-p4.tar.gz

On the machine which you are having the issue, are you able to perform the following commands:

  `curl -L -O https://bitbucket.org/petsc/pkg-metis/get/v5.1.0-p4.tar.gz`

Then, a check to make sure the file downloaded is a 'gzip' one:

  `file v5.1.0-p4.tar.gz` should out put:

v5.1.0-p4.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix

If you are able to download that file, then there is something else going on we need to figure out. But if you can't download that file, then well... that is the issue, and its most likely some firewall rule, or perhaps a proxy configuration in place, preventing that machine from using bitbucket. This wouldn't be unheard of. For a while, I believe our lab was blocking access to that location.

Hello Derek,

I somehow overlooked the correct option (Ubuntu) for my system and have been trying the manual installation option.

I am extremely sorry for the confusion.

Hello guys,

I am also having a similar issue. I am trying to configure Petsc with metis in my server with CentOS and I am pointing to the metis-5.1.0.tar.gz file which is already downloaded while configuring (--download-metis=<path to the tar.gz file>). But I still get the same error as Pavitra. 

The server does not have internet access, only intranet access. I wanted to know if this is an issue without internet. 

Thank you,

Regards,

Koushik C

I gave this try, and it seems to work for me...

[~/Downloads/petsc-3.7.6]> ./configure \

--download-hypre=1 \

--with-ssl=0 \

--with-debugging=0 \

--with-pic=1 \

--with-shared-libraries=1 \ 

--with-cc=mpicc \

--with-cxx=mpicxx \

--with-fc=mpif90 \

--download-metis=/tmp/downloads/metis-5.1.0.tar.gz \

--download-parmetis=1 \

--download-fblaslapack=1 \

--download-superlu_dist=1 \

--download-mumps=1 \

--download-scalapack=1 \

-CC=mpicc \

-CXX=mpicxx \

-FC=mpif90 \

-F77=mpif77 \

-F90=mpif90 \

-CFLAGS='-fPIC -fopenmp' -CXXFLAGS='-fPIC -fopenmp' \

-FFLAGS='-fPIC -fopenmp' -FCFLAGS='-fPIC -fopenmp' \

-F90FLAGS='-fPIC -fopenmp' -F77FLAGS='-fPIC -fopenmp'

Eventually I get this:

===============================================================================

Trying to download file:///tmp/downloads/metis-5.1.0.tar.gz for METIS

===============================================================================   

Afraid to say, but it seems to work for me...

What is your configure line? Does it error? Also, the configure.log can hold a wealth of information about a failed PETSc build.
