I am trying to compile a code in a Linux-based cluster with open PBS scheduler using the following command

/home/debamalya/cpp/cpp_libraries/open_mpi/bin/mpicxx -I/home/debamalya/cpp/cpp_libraries/boost_1_81_0/ -I/home/debamalya/cpp/cpp_libraries/eigen-3.4.0/ -I /home/debamalya/cpp/cpp_libraries/gsl/include/ -c test.cpp

But it is creating a long error list, and I am just adding last part of it

What I have understood is that the error is due to the boost library.

On the other hand, I have compiled the same code in my local machine using the following command

/home/debamalya/cpp_libraries/open_mpi/bin/mpicxx -I/home/debamalya/cpp_libraries/boost_1_81_0/ -I/home/debamalya/cpp_libraries/eigen-3.4.0/ -I/home/debamalya/cpp_libraries/gsl/include/ -c test.cpp

and it compiles fine.

To resolve compatibility issue, I am using same version of boost library and open mpi in both machines. I have also compiled other cpp codes using the following command in the cluster

/home/debamalya/cpp/cpp_libraries/gcc-11.3.0/bin/g++ -I/home/debamalya/cpp/cpp_libraries/boost_1_81_0/ -I/home/debamalya/cpp/cpp_libraries/eigen-3.4.0/ -I/home/debamalya/cpp/cpp_libraries/gsl/include/ -c test.cpp

but that creates no problem.

I am very confused. Please help me to understand the problem and resolve the issue.

I am also attaching first few line of the error message

  • Maybe it's a problem of the compiler version. What does ```mpicxx --version``` give on both machines? Also, please rather include the *first* part of the error messages. – francesco Mar 21 '23 at 17:31
  • Yes, the problem is regarding the g++ compiler version which has been used to install openmpi. Some versions of g++ are not compatible with the Boost cpp library. – Debamalya Dutta Jun 04 '23 at 08:38

When you need to link a library (e.g. netcdf) then you have to linked with -l followed by the name of the library; use the something like:

> mpicxx -lnetcdf test.cpp

If you need to specify the location of that library then you need to use a capital -L followed by the full path to the library location:

> mpicxx -L/home/user/mylibraries/netcdf4 -lnetcdf test.cpp

In you case, you are using -l for the path and no specification of which library to link. Obviously this is a simplified example, it might be needed to first compile the object file text.o and then create the executable, but that depends on your implementation. ;)
