[Difx-users] difx 2.4.1 compile error in Mark5B+ "configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables"

[Jongsoo Kim]

Dear DIFX users,

I am trying to install DiFX 2.4.1 in a MarkB+ in order to do remote distributed correlation using the native mode of Mark5 for the KVN observations.   The installation options are as follows,

./install-difx --noipp --nodoc --mk5daemon

The above commend compiles packages of "difxio", "difxmessages", and "mark5access" without any problems.  But it generates the attached error message when it comes to the mpifxcorr package.

The Mark5B+ system has Debian Wheezy 32bit OS.  The output of "uname -a" is as follows.

2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Mon Sep 23 23:00:18 UTC 2013 i686 GNU/Linux

Most of the Debian packages required for the difx described in the difx web site were installed except openmpi.

  *   pkg-config
  *   bison
  *   flex
  *   libexpat1-dev
  *   fftw3-dev
  *   autoconf
  *   automake
  *   libtool
  *   gfortran

The openmpi 1.10.2 was manually installed with --enable-heterogeneous.  Do you have any idea to sort out the problem that I have?

I have the other question. Is there any body who tried the native correlation with Mark5B+, whose OS is the 64bit one?  If any, please tell me your successful (or unsuccessful) story to me.

Best regards,

Jongsoo
