Dear developers,

I am trying to compile NWChem on macOS with all the patches using Clang 7.3.0 + Gfortran 6.1 and have the following error on execution of a simple example script:

MA fatal error: MA_sizeof: invalid datatype: 4333622002677


Variables are set to the following values
USE_MPI=y
MPI_LOC=/path/to/mpich-3.2
USE_PYTHONCONFIG=y
PYTHONVERSION=2.7
BLASOPT=-L/path/to/openblas-0.2.18/lib -lopenblas
BLAS_LIB=-L/path/to/openblas-0.2.18/lib -lopenblas
LAPACK_LIB=-L/path/to/openblas-0.2.18/lib -lopenblas
USE_SCALAPACK=y
SCALAPACK=-L/path/to/netlib-scalapack-2.0.2/lib -lscalapack
NWCHEM_MODULES=all
NWCHEM_LONG_PATHS=Y
USE_64TO32=y
BLAS_SIZE=4
LAPACK_SIZE=4
SCALAPACK_SIZE=4
CFLAGS_FORGA=-DMPICH_NO_ATTR_TYPE_TAGS
NWCHEM_TARGET=MACX64


The in 'src' essentially run
make nwchem_config
make 64_to_32
make


It looks like it has to do with GA lib (one of many warnings)
../ga-5-4/global/src/ga_solve_seq.c:547:64: warning: incompatible pointer types passing 'Integer *' (aka 'long *') to parameter of type 'int *' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
    LAPACK_DGETRF(&blas_dimA1, &blas_dimA2, adra, &blas_dimA1, adri, &info);

and
../ga-5-4/global/src/peigstubs.c:15:8: warning: type specifier missing, defaults to 'int' [-Wimplicit-int]
extern gai_diag_std_(Integer*,Integer*,DoublePrecision*);



The output of head -25 $NWCHEM_TOP/src/tools/build/config.log is (with a minor cleanup)

p.s. A similar build (without CFLAGS_FORGA and with LINUX64) on Ubuntu 16.04 and gcc5.2 seems to work fine.

I don't use gcc, should be irrelevant. Also CC and FC environment variables are set to point to Clang and gfortran. But since you asked, the `gcc` points to the system's gcc

Do not mind unusual paths in logs, it's because NWChem is compiled within a package manager Spack (https://github.com/LLNL/spack) -- a flexible package manager developed with High-Perfomance-Computing in mind.

Sure,
That patch is addressing a separate gcc 6 issue

Could you please post the output of


cd $NWCHEM_TOP/src/inp

missing -fdefault-integer-8 option
Denis
Something goes wrong in the makefile structure since the Fortran compiler option that would fix your problem is missing (-fdefault-integer-8 option).

Could you please try the following:
First try:

cd $NWCHEM_TOP/src/inp

touch inp.F

make FC=gfortran

If this fails, please try this second alternative set of commands

cd $NWCHEM_TOP/src/inp

touch inp.F

make _FC=gfortran

Notice the underscore "_" sign before FC

Could that be that somewhere in makefiles it is assumed that C/C++ and Fortran compilers can't be mixed from different families (Clang + Gfortran)? Although i would assume the same situation happens with NAG fortran compilers.

When I compile NWchem, the environment variables CC, CXX, F77, FC are all set and point to Clang and gfortran compilers (wrappers in Spack).

So

make FC=gfortran


should not make a difference. I will try setting `_FC=/point/to/gfortran`...

That is not going to work either (e.g. using make _FC=/longhorriblepath/gfortran)
The root cause of the problem is the makefile gets lost when you give the full path to either FC or _FC
The patch below should address this issue
How to apply 

cd $NWCHEM_TOP

curl http://www.nwchem-sw.org/images/Notdir_fc.patch.gz > Notdir_fc.patch.gz

gzip -d Notdir_fc.patch.gz

patch -p0 < Notdir_fc.patch
How to test

cd $NWCHEM_TOP/src/inp

touch inp.F

make
If this triggers the correct -fdefault-integer-8 behavior, then you will need to recompile all the NWChem bits using the command

make

Oh, i see. I will try the patch and let you know...

Does the patch apply to all compilers (Intel, gcc, nag, etc), both FC and CC? If not, then it would probably be a more robust solution for me to set FC and CC to point to basename (gfortran) instead of the full path (long/path/to/gfortran) as directories are in PATH anyway.

Thanks for the tip on FC/CC, etc ...
I have uploaded a new version of the patch (if you use this new version, please remove the older patch, first)

Yes, the recommended way to compile NWChem has always been to compile with the simple command
make FC=gfortran
i.e. without providing the full path

I think the patch you have now will not solve the problem for anyone trying to do FC=/full/path/to/compiler while NOT having `/full/path/to` in PATH. May I suggest the following instead:

a) mention it explicitly in http://www.nwchem-sw.org/index.php/Compiling_NWChem#Setting_up_the_proper_environment_vari...

i.e. `NWChem does not support usage of the full path in FC and CC variables. Please provide filenames only!'

and

b) throw an error during configure if you found that FC and CC are full paths.


p.s. I fixed the problem on my side by following (a). Thanks for your help in figuring this out.
