Compilation problem on Mac OS Yosemite with newest version

[kannon92]

I did a git clone of the CHEMPS2 library. I am able to configure the code.

When I try and compile the code, I get this error:

/Users/kevinhannon/Programs/CheMPS2/CheMPS2/DMRGtechnics.cpp:27:10: fatal error:       
'gsl/gsl_sf_coupling.h' file not found
#include <gsl/gsl_sf_coupling.h>
     ^
1 error generated.

I thought this was a problem with not finding GSL, but this appears in the configuration:

GSL_DEFINITIONS=
GSL_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16/include
GSL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16/include
-- Using GSL from 
-- FindGSL: Found both GSL headers and library
-- Configuring done

I have GSL and HDF in my path.

A coworker of mine has a much older version of this code and his config script is exactly the same. His code compiles fine. Is there anything else I need to do to properly link GSL?

Hi Kevin,

It should be fixed with commit 1b8fb1fca2a0f8a081f4daaf0d82b73c2e814e39. Can you confirm?

[kannon92]

Thank you for that fix. The code compiles now.

I am still having some trouble with compiling the library.

I am having trouble with linking with the hdf5 library (I think).

undef: _inflate
undef: _inflateInit_
undef: _compress2
undef: _inflateEnd
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
    "_inflate", referenced from:
   _H5Z_filter_deflate in libhdf5.a(H5Zdeflate.o)
   "_inflateInit_", referenced from:
   _H5Z_filter_deflate in libhdf5.a(H5Zdeflate.o)
"_compress2", referenced from:
  _H5Z_filter_deflate in libhdf5.a(H5Zdeflate.o)
"_inflateEnd", referenced from:
  _H5Z_filter_deflate in libhdf5.a(H5Zdeflate.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

After a quick google search, I am thinking it is a problem with not having the zlib for compression linked with hdf5. What were some of specifics that you used to compile hdf5? I tried using a installation manager, but it does not require a dependency on zlib, but only on slib.

What is necessary for linking with hdf5? It seems that you need to link more than just hdf5.

You could give precompiled hdf5, zlib, etc. from conda a try if you want another alternative.

Yea, it was actually finding that hdf5 library first. I had some problems with including the shared libraries from conda into my path. When I added those libraries to find DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, I found that cmake was no longer working.

I was able to get the code to compile and run successfully. I had to specify the zlib, hdf5, and szlip libraries in the HDF5_INCLUDE and HDF5_LIBRARIES CMAGE flag.
