Installation failed on Centos 7-based cluster #363

I attempted to install ADflow on a homogeneous HPC supercomputer (all nodes share the same architecture) using Intel Composer 2017. Initially, I encountered the following error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in C99 mode. I resolved this by adding -std=c99 to the C flags in the Makefile. However, upon rerunning the build, I encountered a new error: (mpicc -fPIC -O -std=c99 -I../c_defines -I../metis-4.0 -I/path/to/petsc/build/include -c ../adjoint/ADFirstAidKit/adStack.c -o adStack.o

    --- Compiled metisInterface.c successfully ---

../adjoint/ADFirstAidKit/adStack.c:65:1: error: unknown type name ‘u_int64_t’ static u_int64_t pushPopTraffic = 0 ;).

I haven't been able to resolve this issue. Could you please provide assistance or any tips to address this? (PS. I installed the CGNS and PETSc from the source using the same compiler)

Moreover, I attempted another way to install it by creating a conda environment having the latest versions of all recommended packages on this website (https://mdolab-mach-aero.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/installInstructions/install3rdPartyPackages.html) using anaconda 2024 but failed and gave the following error: (../adjoint/outputReverseFast/utils_fast_b.f90 /path/to/adflow/src/build/fort_depend.py:86: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\s')

Code versions for the first attempt

Code versions for the second attempt

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Can you try doing the installation with the package versions we currently use on our "latest" docker images? I think your first attempt is using too old a version of python and the second attempt is using too new a version. You can find the details on the MPI versions we use here and other package versions here

Hi Ali, Thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunately, I could not access the two links you sent. Both took me to empty pages. Can you please resend it again? Also, what is the best approach if I want to install the software without using dockers? Thank you so much,

Check the table at the top of this page with the tested dependencies: https://mdolab-mach-aero.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/installInstructions/install3rdPartyPackages.html I believe both the Python and PETSc versions might be too new, type errors are very common in this case.

Hi Marco, Thank you for your comment. I'll give it another try using the recommended versions and hopefully resolve all the errors. Thank you,

@helyamany any progress on this? Are there still errors?
