[FLASH-USERS] The problem "Segmentation fault"

Tue Jun 21 00:13:43 EDT 2011

Hi Zhang,

It would help if you could post your entire Makefile.h at once so that 
we can see all the flags you are using.

 From some of the build messages you are getting, it looks like you 
might have left the "-static" flag in the LFLAGS_OPT variable from the 
Makefile.h.gfortran.  I think most systems don't need that, but it 
depends on how things are installed.  I've attached my Makefile.h which 
works for gfortran 4.3 (default compilers and mpi (mpich 1.2.7) in 
Debian lenny).

I think the prototype Makefile.h's assume a little more familiarity with 
the mpi/compiler installation than you seem to have.  You might ask 
around your institution for someone a bit more familiar with the 
environment you are using and ask them to just spot-check your build flags.

I think most people use mpich instead of mpich2, but I think mpich2 
should still work (does anyone else know better?), and also gfortran 4.1 
is a little old and probably not being tested on.  Probably it should 
not be expected to work.  That was effectively the first gfortran 
version.  This could be the source of your segfault, but not your build 
problems.

All that being said, it seems like there is something odd about your 
build/run environment.  Segmentation faults are completely generic 
errors that could be almost anything.  But you say that you can build 
and run other MPI applications... so I don't know what to tell you.

The +ug +noio setup that Anshu suggested excludes some of the more 
complicated pieces of flash and should be the most likely thing to work, 
but you seem to not even be able to link that.

I hope you can figure it out.
