Installing the libtool-bin package also made the problem go away.  (This was an Ubuntu system.  The package name may be different on another distribution.) On 5/2/22 2:02 PM, Allen McIntosh wrote:

That was what I thought also.  Unfortunately this doesn't work.  The purpose of setting $LIBTOOL_VERSION is to embed the version in the .lo file $LO_FILEPATH that is created in the next statement.  Although the version is placed in something that appears to be a comment, it is required later by something else called 'libtool',  and it is considered to be an error if the version is missing:

libtool:   error: 'src/backend/cuda/pup/yaksuri_cudai_pup__Bool.lo' is not a valid libtool object

The file contains the line # Generated by

This is a rather cryptic error message, but it goes away if the libtool invocation on line 44 is changed to './libtool'.  That is marginally OK if cudalt.sh is only invoked in that directory (which seems to be true just now) but it's not a permanent solution IMHO.

I have attached the build log for whatever that's worth.  Let me know if you want any config logs.

Hi Allen,

The line was just getting a libtool version to be included in a comment. I suspect simply deleting the line would work fine. Could you try that?

Posting yaksa related questions here is fine. Don't worry about reposting to yaksa-users.

Line 45 (approximately) of mpich-4.0.2/modules/yaksa/src/backend/cuda/cudalt.sh invokes libtool without providing its own version.  This results in an error if there is no system version of libtool.  I got around this by changing the invocation to "./libtool", but that is pretty ugly.  I have asked to have libtool-bin installed on the build system.  I can post with any results.
