Problem make installing the package

[RunningXinLiu]

Hi Haipeng,

I am installing this package on my macbook pro M1. I have openmpi installed:

 mpif90 --version
GNU Fortran (Homebrew GCC 11.2.0_3) 11.2.0

However, when I run make in the fd2dmpi folder I got the following error indicating grammar error. Could this be a problem with my mpi library？

BTW, I dont have any problem make install this package on my remote sever, which uses the same mpi distribution as indicated in your tutorial.

mpif90 --version

Thank you for your interest. This code has complied successfully on the Intel and AMD CPUs. On the Macbook pro with the M1, I have also encountered your problem. It seems that OpenMPI or other MPI does not work very well with the M1 chip so far (just a guess, and I'm not so sure).

Please be careful with the MPI problems and the M1 chip. I have burned out an M1 chip and get my motherboard repaired...

Thank you Haipeng. This M1 chip has caused me a lot of headaches. I haven't managed to run specfem package with it probably due to the same cause. Also I the fortran language server fortls are not supported by M1... I should have just sticked to ubuntu...

Best, Xin

You're definitely welcome. The M1 chip also troubles me a lot. I now use it only as a code editing tool and run the code on remote servers or HPC platforms.

Best,

I am trying to work remotely with vs code. But the server I am using does not have an internet connection. It was painstaking to download modules, packages locally and scp to the server and manually install them.

[Haipeng-ustc]

I'm basically in the same working mode using VS code, but our computational server can access the internal internet, which makes it easier to download some packages.
