Re: [easybuild] Sanity check failed: Check for banned/required shared libraries failed

[Jan André Reuter]

Toolchains using FlexiBLAS as their LinAlg backend will define a number of banned shared libraries, which should not appear in the built applications. This includes OpenBLAS, i.e. libopenblas.so. In your case, the application linked against OpenBLAS directly. Instead, it should've linked against FlexiBLAS.

Best regards,
Jan

The application is therefore either directly checking for OpenBLAS, which might require a patch, or we can pass FlexiBLAS in via some config option for example. Generally, FlexiBLAS allows users to freely choose the actual BLAS implementation at runtime, with the default being OpenBLAS. This should always be the preferred option over just hard-linking to some BLAS implementation.

Hi,

What does the following error mean

   ERROR: Installation of CFOUR-2.1-foss-2024a.eb failed: 'Sanity check failed: 
Check for banned/required shared libraries failed for 
/trinity/shared/easybuild/software/CFOUR/2.1-foss-2024a/bin/xlcc, ...

?

I have just

   sanity_check_paths = {
       'files': ["bin/qcfour"],
       'dirs': ["bin", "lib"]
   }

and the required libraries seem to be available:

Or is something missing in my sanity check?

Cheers,

Loris
