Hypre problem resolved. PETSc commit 05f86fb made in August 05, 2019 added
the line 'self.installwithbatch = 0' to the __init__ method of the
Configure class in the file
petsc/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/hypre.py to fix a bug with hypre
installation on Cray KNL systems. Since the machine I was installing os was
an SGI system, I decided to try switching to 'self.installwithbatch = 1'
and it worked! The configure script was finally able to run to completion.
Perhaps there can be a Cray flag for configure that can control this, since
it is only Cray's that have this problem with Hypre?
For my benefit when I have to do this again -
To get moose/petsc/scripts/update_and_rebuild_petsc.sh to run on an SGI
system as a batch job, I had to:
Make sure the git (gnu version) module was loaded
git clone moose
cd to the petsc directory and git clone the petsc submodule, but make sure
to pull the latest commit. The commit that the moose repo refers to is
outdated.
cd back to the moose directory, git add petsc and git commit so that the
newest petsc commit gets used by the update script. otherwise the old
commit will be used.
download the tarballs for fblaspack, hypre, metis, mumps, parmetis,
scalapack, (PT)scotch, slepc, and superLU_dist. The URLS are in the
__init__ methods of the relevant files
inmost/petsc/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/
alter moose/scripts/update_and_rebuild_petsc.sh script so that it is a
working PBS batch job. Be sure to module swap to the gcc compiler and
module load git (gnu version) and alter the ./configure command arguments
adding
--with-cudac=0
--with-batch=1
changing
--download-<package>=/path/to/thirdparty/package/tarball
If the supercomputer is *not* a Cray KNL system, change line 26 of
moose/petsc/config/BuildSystem/config/packages/hypre.py from
'self.installwithbath = 0' to 'self.installwithbatch = 1', otherwise,
install hypre on its own and use --with-hypre-dir=/path/to/hypre in the
./configure command
