Install and run GITM on Ubuntu with Intel ifort #18

Open Prof-CW opened 3 months ago

Prof-CW commented 3 months ago

The steps provided for installing GITM do not work for Intel ifort. I have worked out how to get GITM to install and run, as described below for others who may have the Intel Fortran compiler.

Here is what I did:

  1. git clone the GITM repository as described in the README

  2. If you go ahead and do ./Config.pl -install -earth -compiler=ifort then all the f90 source codes compile ok. The static libraries, obj and mod files all appear. However, the ifort link step errors with a whole bunch of undefined variables and there is no GITM.exe produced.

  3. Here are the deatils of the software on my Dell laptop: OS: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

    gfortran --version GNU Fortran (Ubuntu 10.5.0-1ubuntu1~20.04) 10.5.0

    gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu 10.5.0-1ubuntu1~20.04) 10.5.0

    ifort --version ifort (IFORT) 2021.12.0 20240222

    mpiifort --version ifort (IFORT) 2021.12.0 20240222

  4. The commands that worked for me were: ./Config.pl -install -earth -compiler=mpiifort make # check that GITM.exe and postProcess.exe appear in the /src dir after the make has finished make rundir cd run mpirun -np 4 ./GITM.exe cd UA ./pGITM cd data etc...

In summary, using the -compiler=mpiifort (not ifort) worked for me.

Hi, Thank you very much for this work. I just have a question. Can it run on Windows?
