SuperLU installation

I assume that the command that you give is wrong.

I suggest that you try

sudo apt install libsuperlu5 libsuperlu-doc

It sounds like you downloaded something from the Web rather than the repositories. If this is the case can you please give a link to the site you used.

Hi,

This is what I get if I type: sudo apt install libsuperlu5 libsuperlu-doc

The installation of SuperLU went ok.

The error message for the other command ("ls -l" with "/mnt/c" as current directory) has nothing to do with SuperLU.
What exactly do you want to achieve?

Eventually the command
ls -l /mnt
helps revealing the cause of the error.

Hi Manfred,

Thank you for your help.

Eventually I would like to incorporate some of the SUPERLU routines into a CFD code which currently uses iterative solvers but I am probably a long way off that at the moment.

Presumably, it will be clear how to install and run the software I have just downloaded?

Regards,
John

The SuperLU software is already installed.

For further information about the usage I suggest that you open the file
file:///usr/share/doc/libsuperlu-dev/html/index.html
in your web browser and read the documentation.

Hi Manfred,

Thanks for this but my browser says this page cannot be accessed.

Regards,
John

Sorry, my fault, the file name should have been

/usr/share/doc/libsuperlu-doc/html/index.html
or file:///usr/share/doc/libsuperlu-doc/html/index.html

Thanks again but I assume the docs will already have been downloaded from my initial command: sudo apt install libsuperlu5 libsuperlu-doc?

Please tell me where I can find these in my directory structure.

Regards,
John

The file names that I gave in comment #8 include the full directory path. What else do you need?

Or try something else:

Open a terminal window (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t) and enter the command (or copy/paste it)

xdg-open /usr/share/doc/libsuperlu-doc/html/index.html

Presumably you mean open in Linux? I which case I get:

root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/home/john# xdg-open /usr/share/doc/libsuperlu-doc/html/index.html

You received this question notification because you asked the question.

Hi Manfred,

Please tell me where I can find the downloaded software in my directory structure.

Many thanks,
John

Im am sorry, I do not have any experience with Ubuntu on the Windows subsystem.
I do not know whether (and eventually how) you can access the Ubuntu files in Windows.

Thanks Manfred.

Are you saying that I should not have typed: sudo apt install libsuperlu5 libsuperlu-doc?

My original query was: I am trying to install SUPERLU on Ubuntu 18.04 but when type install in the INSTALL directory I get:
install: missing file operand

Which seems a problem with a csh file -
#!/bin/csh

set ofile = install.out # output file

echo '---- SINGLE PRECISION' >! $ofile
./testslamch >> $ofile
echo '' >> $ofile
echo ---- DOUBLE PRECISION >> $ofile
./testdlamch >> $ofile
echo '' >> $ofile
echo ---- TIMER >> $ofile
./testtimer >> $ofile

Regards,
John

There are two possibilities to install software on Ubuntu:

1. With the package management system.
In the repositories for Ubuntu there are readymade packages with software for easy install on Ubuntu systems.
SuperLU is such software. In the Ubuntu repositories it is split in a number of different packages, and the command to install it with the Ubuntu package manager is "sudo apt install <packagename>", in your case "sudo apt install libsuperlu5 libsuperlu-doc"

2. From the original source downloaded from elsewhere.
If certain software is not available in the Ubuntu package repository, or if you need a specific different version or ..., then of course you can also download and install software from elsewhere.
In that case you have to investigate how to build and install the software.
The command "install" is for sure not the right one.

Thankyou Manfred for your time and patience.

I downloaded SuperLU_MT from:

https://portal.nersc.gov/project/sparse/superlu/

and went to the INSTALL subdirectory thinking that was the right thing to do.

Apart from the csh error things seemed to go as planned and that I would soon be running example cases.

Regards,
John
ps what should I have done?

If you want to use the version that you have downloaded, then you should uninstall the Ubuntu-provided version (to avoid confusion which version you are using, potentially leading to conflicts).

sudo apt purge --autoremove libsuperlu5 libsuperlu-doc libsuperlu-dev

And then you have to install that other version.

What you have downloaded probably is a file whose name ends with .tar.gz, I assume it's superlu_5.2.2.tar.gz

First step is decompressing the contents. If you can go to the INSTALL directory, then I assume that you have already done the unpacking

But going to the INSTALL directory is not the right step. Go back to the main directory and look for a README file and follow the instructions in it.

Hi Manfred,

Many thanks again.

I originally (before contacting this forum) tried to do everything you have said - the README file says to type make in every subdirectory and only some work.

In the INSTALL directory I get:

root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1/INSTALL# make
Testing machines parameters and timer
csh install.csh
make: csh: Command not found

And if I just type install:
root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1/INSTALL# install
install: missing file operand
Try 'install --help' for more information.

To a non-expert linux user like me there seems to be something wrong with this csh file.

Regards,
John

1. Again: "install" is not a valid command in this context.

2. Where do you see the instruction to execute "make" in all subdirectories?

The README for SuperLU 5.2.2 tells
   A Makefile is provided in each subdirectory. The installation can be done
   completely automatically by simply typing "make" at the top level.

3. "make: csh: Command not found"

You are missing the csh program on your system

sudo apt install csh

I assume that also other required programs may be missing. If you want to compile programs, then a standard recommendation is to install a bunch of requisite packages with the command

sudo apt install build-essential

Thanks Manfred.

This seems to get over this problem and I have started (again) to go into each subdirectory to type: make.

Some of these work but others say: n

Makefile:55: recipe for target 'pstest' failed, for example.

Regards,
John
ps I had no idea that I had to install csh!

Why do you go into each subdirectory?
Just type "make" in the top directory!

"The installation can be done completely automatically by simply typing "make" at the top level."

I have tried this both originally and again now but the example programs in EXAMPLE will still not work:

root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1/EXAMPLE# pslinsol -p4 < big.rua
pslinsol: command not found
root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1/EXAMPLE# ./pslinsol -p4 < big.rua
bash: ./pslinsol: No such file or directory

Very frustrating.

Regards,
John

What is the output of:

sudo updatedb; locate pslinsol

Thanks

Nothing - a blank line:

root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1/EXAMPLE# sudo updatedb; locate pslinsol
root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1/EXAMPLE#

Regards,
John

Then it's not a command on your system, so running random commands that simply don't exist won't work

1. There was some kind of misunderstanding.
You always wrote that you want to use SuperLU, but apparently you have downloaded SuperLU_MT

2. Did you follow the instructions in README?
Did you run "make"?
Were there any error messages?

if pslinsol is not there, then it was not built - either because the step to build it was not executed at all, or that step failed.

Yes, I have downloaded the MT version - I didn't realise this was significant?

Yes, I have run make, several times in fact with different machine-specific make.inc files, from the top directory and there are no errors. Please see:

It seems that you have not correctly set up your environment.

Did you follow all steps in the README file, especially those relates to BLAS?

e.g. those:
    1) In make.inc, undefine (comment out) BLASDEF, and define:
          BLASLIB = ../lib/libblas$(PLAT).a

    2) Type:
          make blaslib
       to make the BLAS library from the routines in the CBLAS/ subdirectory.

Maybe it is easier to use SuperLU instead of SuperLU_MT.

The BLAS part of make.inc is now:
BLASDEF = -DUSE_VENDOR_BLAS
BLASLIB = ../lib/libblas$(PLAT).a
#BLASLIB =
MATHLIB = -lm
MPLIB = -lpthread

Originally there was nothing in the BLASLIB line.

root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1/CBLAS# make blaslib
make: *** No rule to make target 'blaslib'. Stop.

But just make gives:

root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1/CBLAS# make
ar cr ../lib/libblas_xe6.a isamax.o sasum.o saxpy.o scopy.o sdot.o snrm2.o srot.o sscal.o \
        sgemv.o ssymv.o strsv.o sger.o ssyr2.o
ranlib ../lib/libblas_xe6.a
ar cr ../lib/libblas_xe6.a idamax.o dasum.o daxpy.o dcopy.o ddot.o dnrm2.o drot.o dscal.o \
        dgemv.o dsymv.o dtrsv.o dger.o dsyr2.o
ranlib ../lib/libblas_xe6.a
ar cr ../lib/libblas_xe6.a icamax.o scasum.o caxpy.o ccopy.o scnrm2.o cscal.o \
        cgemv.o chemv.o ctrsv.o cgerc.o cher2.o

ar cr ../lib/libblas_xe6.a izamax.o dzasum.o zaxpy.o zcopy.o dznrm2.o zscal.o dcabs1.o \
        zgemv.o zhemv.o ztrsv.o zgerc.o zher2.o
ranlib ../lib/libblas_xe6.a

After make in the top directory I still get:

root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1# cd EXAMPLE
root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1/EXAMPLE# pslinsol -p4 < big.rua
pslinsol: command not found

Now you have to re-try building the pslinsol executable!

Please see:

root@DESKTOP-8HR6ET2:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/SuperLU_MT_3.1/EXAMPLE# make pslinsol
cc pslinsol.o \
../lib/libsuperlu_mt_xe6.a ../lib/libblas_xe6.a -lm -lpthread -o pslinsol
../lib/libsuperlu_mt_xe6.a(sgstrs.o): In function `sgstrs':

Im am sorry, but I cannot help further. This is software that has to do nothing with Ubuntu. If you need help using it, then you have to look for support somewhere else.

Just some ideas:
Carefully follow the README file(s)
The software version that you are currently working on is for a CRAY XE6 supercomputer. I doubt that you have such hardware.
Maybe you should try the "normal" SuperLU package instead of SuperLU_MT.
Or you can delete the foreign package and go back installing the Ubuntu-provided version.

Hi Manfred,

I am using: PLAT = _xe6 - is this correct for a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.18 machine?

Thanks,
John

I already told before: As far as I known xe6 is for Cray XE6 supercomputer.
I do not know what the consequences are of using that on different hardware and operating system.
Please ask elsewhere; this is not an Ubuntu problem.

Hi Manfred,

I am sorry to have to bother you again bjut I am getting nowhere with this software. I followed your advice and downloaded SUPERLU but there appears to be no lib directory! I copied across the SUPER_MT lib directory but this does not contain the correct files.

See:

jjrw@DESKTOP-RD08H7P:/mnt/c/SUPERLU/superlu-5.2.2$ make blaslib
( cd CBLAS; make )
make[1]: Entering directory '/mnt/c/SUPERLU/superlu-5.2.2/CBLAS'
ar cr ../lib/blas_linux.a isamax.o sasum.o saxpy.o scopy.o sdot.o snrm2.o srot.o sscal.o sswap.o sgemv.o ssymv.o strsv.o sger.o ssyr2.o
ar: ../lib/blas_linux.a: No such file or directory
Makefile:67: recipe for target 'single' failed
make[1]: *** [single] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/c/SUPERLU/superlu-5.2.2/CBLAS'
Makefile:33: recipe for target 'blaslib' failed

Best regards,
John

Did you carefully read and follow the instructions that are provided with the software?

What you are trying has nothing to do with Ubuntu, so we cannot help.

This is the right area to ask only if you install the Ubuntu-provided superlu package.

I am pretty sure I have fcarefully ollowed the instructions and there is no lib directory.

Please suggest a site for me to download the UBUNTU superlu.

Thanks,
John

You received this question notification because you asked the question.

There is no "site to download the UBUNTU superlu".

You install the Ubuntu-provided packages with the Ubuntu package management system, e.g. with the commands given in the very first comment.

You should make sure that you do not mix the same software from different sources, so I recommend that you remove everything what you have downloaded from nersc.gov before you install the Ubuntu-provided packages.

Hi Manfred,

I wonder if you would please doing me a great favour and download the basic SUPERLU from: https://portal.nersc.gov/project/sparse/superlu/

And check that there is no lib directory which is required if I use make.linux? (I am using an intel chip).

Many thanks,
John

You received this question notification because you asked the question.

I am sorry, but I am not interested in installing foreign software if there is an equivalent package in the Ubuntu repositories.
This is not what Ubuntu support is thought for.

Ok thanks Manfred. I didn't realise it was foreign; I thought it was 'official' software as you looked at the README file.

When I tried to download the documentation you suggestion for the Ububtu Superlu the different choices became bewildering.

John
