cs 4.1.1 and hdf5 on a Debian machine

[Elektrix]

Hello all,

this is my second attempt to get calculations done with Code Saturne. I have Debian Stretch AMD64 on my computer with a quad core pentium. Installation of code saturne from the repositories failed probably due to the renaming problem mentioned in another post (code-saturne <> code_saturne) so I downloaded CS 4.1.1 directly from the web page.

As I use salome 7.6.0 for geometry and meshing I want to use med format. So hdf5 is needed. libhdf5-10 and libhdf5-dev from the Debian repositories are installed but not accepted by the installation script. install_saturne.log says:

Code: Select all

checking hdf5.h usability... no
checking hdf5.h presence... no
checking for hdf5.h... no
checking hdf5.h usability... no
checking hdf5.h presence... no
checking for hdf5.h... no
checking for H5Fopen in -lhdf5... no
configure: error: in `/home/friedrich/code_saturne-4.1.1.build':
configure: error: HDF5 support is requested, but test for HDF5 failed!
See `config.log' for more details

In the setup file I set the path to libhdf5 to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu where the hdf5 library is. The installed files are named: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd ... 0/filelist and https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd ... 0/filelist and some more: -hl-cpp, -cpp,... Is it possible that the installation script searches for other file names than those present?

How can I continue, either with the Debian package or the original one?

Best regards

Elektrix

Hello,

Could you post the files indicated in the forum recommendations (i.e. the config.log file) ?

Did you try to read the config.log ?

In the piece you posted, I see:

checking for hdf5.h... no

You are probably missing the hdf5-dev package (and possibly other *-dev packages). You should install those packages, as recommended in the installation manual.

Otherwise, on Debian Sid, it seems that the fixed package has just been updated. I am not sure about Debian stable or testing, but if the package was updated this week, it is probably the fix, so you may try that again.

Regards,

Yvan

Hello Yvan,

thank you very much for your reply! Sorry that I didn't give you all the information requested. The easiest solution is what you proposd: The latest version of the Debian package has a fix for the naming problem. This package, version code-saturne (4.1.1+repack-2) has already arrived in testing. I installed it and now everything works including med file support without further configuration

This could also be a solution to the ubuntu problem from another thread here.

Thanks again
