Dear Szilárd,
Thank you so much for your help. I performed the following steps
and it seems to have built successfully, I'll let you know if it does not
run correctly as well.
rm -r gromacs-2020/
sudo apt-get install gcc-8 g++-8
tar -xvzf gromacs-2020.tar.gz
cd gromacs-2020/
mkdir build
cd build
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/:/usr/local/cuda/ cmake ../ -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON
-DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=ON -DGMX_GPU=ON
-DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/cuda/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release
make
make check
sudo make install
source /usr/local/gromacs/bin/GMXRC
Lastly, when I was building in default and ran into trouble I like to build
in debug so it gives details about building and helps me identify source of
the problems or identify relevant information to pass to you so you can
better help me. I appreciate your comment about not building in debugging
mode, but is there a way to run release in verbose mode? When I had
problems with other programs I'd usually build my first time in debugger
mode so I can monitor the process, then make clean and rebuild in default.
Is there a better way to do this?
Once again you help was greatly appreciated,
Ryan
PS again a few notes (if you have time to comment on anything incorrect) I
have for people needing a fix in the future and maybe myself if I do this
again in a few years and forget how.
CUDA version (nvcc --version) is 9.1. This is a little confusing to me
because you referenced CUDA 10.1 and I completely rebuilt this computer in
September 2019, so unless there is a new driver since then it should be
10.1? I grabbed the newest drivers I could find but my computer is
outputting 9.1 so I guess that is my version.
when building gromacs and I specify gcc/g++ verison 5, 8, or 9 it fails
with the original error message regarding glibc 23.2.
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/:/usr/local/cuda/ cmake ../
-DGMX_GPLUSPLUS_PATH=/usr/bin/g++-8 -DCUDA_HOST_COMPILER=gcc-8
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-8 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc-8
-DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=ON -DGMX_GPU=ON
-DCUDA_TOOLKIT_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/cuda/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release
Do you know why this is? When I started this adventure I just had sudo
apt-get install gcc g++ build-essentials. Then I used gcc-5 g++-5 and
specified the version in the build step, which failed. after taking that
out and running sudo apt-get install gcc-9 g++-9 it passes "CMAKE" but
fails in "make". Based on your suggestions I ran the commands at the top of
the email to which then worked. Would this have worked if I had just
installed gcc-8 g++-8 from the beginning and ran CMAKE with no version
specification?
