@jrohwer

When building PETSc (more specifically, petsc4py), one test (ex100 from ksp) will fail if a previous (major) version is installed. I could not figure out why this happens. The solution would be to build in a clean root (which is a little bit complicated due to dependency on other AUR packages) or simply uninstall the old version before.

Any help to solve this issue is welcomed.

now is passing the tests with superlu_dist 8.1.2-2 https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=superlu_dist&id=b800207ab252d45445d482e06cf56e1ab97c2d3c

EDIT:

I realize now that I had reported this error previously and that it has been answered here:

Sorry for the noise!

Unfortunately I have not been able to find a workaround other than uninstalling the old version.

Latest version compiles fine but errors out on tests:

Apparently the build error is caused by a backwards incompatibility in Make, and thus a "bug" in PETSc and not make. They merged a fix, which can be found here: https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/6140/diffs?commit_id=5ef50a0f30184c572c1829d0a161b2eb8af8a6a3

Could you maybe update the package to apply the fix, so that the package can be built without downgrading Make?

MartinDiehl commented on 2023-03-04 09:54 (UTC)

building PETSc requires to downgrade make (https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/issues/1336)

According to this log. petsc can not be compiled without scotch. Happily the binaries are available in arch4edu repository. See https://mirror.sunred.org/arch4edu/x86_64

MartinDiehl commented on 2023-01-22 17:45 (UTC)

@smp: scotch is now build with cmake, which required some changes on the petsc side. Did you try to update scotch first?

smp commented on 2023-01-22 17:12 (UTC)

As described previously, building PETSc without the optional Scotch dependency fails. It looks like the issue can be fixed by replacing the following line in file test_optdepends.sh

if [ -d "${SCOTCH_DIR}" ]; then

with

if [ -f /usr/include/scotch.h ]; then

killozap commented on 2023-01-17 12:07 (UTC)

Can we add superlu_dist as optional dependency? Same as for superlu:

if [ -f "/usr/lib/pkgconfig/superlu_dist.pc" ]; then
  CONFOPTS="${CONFOPTS} --with-superlu_dist-lib=-lsuperlu_dist --with-superlu_dist-include=/usr/include/superlu_dist"
fi
