M1 MPI_ABORT when running LaserSlab simulation in FLASH

[vrtulka23]

Hello,

I am currently trying to run LaserSlab simulation bundled in FLASH code that uses HYPRE. On a linux computer I can run it without problems but on my M1 Macbook Pro 16'' I have some MPI issues.

mpirun --mca mpi_abort_print_stack 1 -np 1 flash4

results in an error after simulation initialization:

.... *** Wrote plotfile to lasslab_hdf5_plt_cnt_0000 **** Initial plotfile written Driver init all done

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD with errorcode -1.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes. You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on exactly when Open MPI kills them.

There is obviously something fishy with HYPRE and MPI on the macbook. Do you have any clue what is wrong?

I use following libraries:

MPI_PATH = /opt/homebrew/Cellar/open-mpi/4.1.5 HDF5_PATH = /opt/homebrew/Cellar/hdf5-mpi/1.12.2_1 HYPRE_PATH = /opt/homebrew/Cellar/hypre/2.28.0

Hi again,

so the problem seems to be in the Homebrew version of HYPRE. I installed HYPRE from the source code and suddenly everything works. Maybe the Homebrew version of HYPRE doesn't support HDF5-MPI. Can you please check it?

Cheers

Glad to hear you found the issue! Unfortunately, we can't debug or support Homebrew versions of libraries. It's great that installing from source worked for you—sometimes the pre-built packages lack certain features or configurations.

Cheers!
