Description Johannes Buchner 2013-11-01 10:45:23 UTC
This problem has been documented in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-967644-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html#7377526

------
 I added the science overlay and was now able to start building sci-libs/atlas after (temporarily) unmerging eselect-cblas, eselect-blas, eselect-lapack which were blocking atlas,
but then it failed:

There seem to be two problems:
- the unknown type name '__m256d'
- the attempt to build liblapack.a in order to build libclapack.a.
This is especiallz strange since liblapack is present:
Code:	
 # ls -l /usr/lib64/liblapack.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Aug 20 09:43 /usr/lib64/liblapack.a -> lapack/reference/liblapack.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug 20 09:43 /usr/lib64/liblapack.so -> lapack/reference/liblapack.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Aug 20 09:43 /usr/lib64/liblapack.so.0 -> lapack/reference/liblapack.so.0

and
Code:	
 # equery belongs /usr/lib64/liblapack.a
 * Searching for /usr/lib64/liblapack.a ...
sci-libs/lapack-reference-3.1.1-r1 (/usr/lib64/lapack/reference/liblapack.a)


At least once, further up in the buyilding of sci-atlas, there was:
Code:

Default compiler & flags do not support SSEGEN!!

I don't know what SSEGEN is, but it seems not to be severe because the build continued...

Comment 4 Johannes Buchner 2013-12-23 19:38:25 UTC
The upstream bug refers to invalid build flags. The ones used by this build (written out by ebuild to .../portage/sci-libs/atlas-3.10.1-r1/work/ATLAS_shared/myconf.out) are:

--prefix=/mnt/data/tmp/portage/sci-libs/atlas-3.10.1-r1/image//usr --libdir=/mnt/data/tmp/portage/sci-libs/atlas-3.10.1-r1/image//usr/lib64 --incdir=/mnt/data/tmp/portage/sci-libs/atlas-3.10.1-r1/image//usr/include --cc=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -D c -DWALL -C acg 'gcc' -F acg '-Os -pipe -g' -Ss pmake '$(MAKE) -j8' -t -1 -Si omp 0 -b 64 -C if '/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gfortran' -F if '-O2 -pipe' -Si latune 1 --with-netlib-lapack-tarfile=/mnt/data/tmp/portage/sci-libs/atlas-3.10.1-r1/distdir/lapack-3.4.2.tgz -Fa alg -fPIC
Comment 5 Johannes Buchner 2013-12-23 22:17:35 UTC
I can confirm that the problem is not related to the CFLAGS or ccache. I disabled the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS variables in make.conf and the ccache FEATURE, but the same problem appears.

Comment 7 François Bissey 2013-12-24 06:09:50 UTC
Hi,
first you should migrate properly to blas/lapack from the science overlay.
I recommend following this document:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User_talk:Houseofsuns
Lapack from atlas is separate from any other lapack you have already installed so it doesn't matter you already have one copy installed.

Once you are all properly set up we'll lock at that error if it still happens.

Hi Francois, thank you for getting back to me. I followed the document, and now have:

sci-libs/blas-reference 20131116[1]
sci-libs/cblas-reference 20110218[1]
virtual/blas 2.1[1]
virtual/cblas 2.0[1]
app-admin/eselect 1.4-r100[1]
sci-libs/atlas 3.10.1-r1[1]
[1] "science" /var/lib/layman/science


But nothing has changed.
However, in the meantime I was able to install atlas with the "generic" use flag. Using "-static-libs" did not help (I thought it might then not build libclapack.a).

Now that is not a good solution as a generic build will be relatively slow.
Comment 9 François Bissey 2013-12-24 22:18:39 UTC
Relatively. You need to attach the build log so we can figure out what configure options were passed and how it is trying to build things.
portage should tell you where it is located when the build fails. Compress it and attach it please.

Do you really need *atlas* in particular? openblas offers quite good performances for a number of cpus by using hand tuned assembly. Of course lapack itself is not optimised but even with atlas the optimisation of lapack is only for a handful of functions.
Comment 10 François Bissey 2013-12-24 22:23:43 UTC
Actually google is very helpful here:
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/38816
So this particular error should disappear if you add "-mavx" to your CFLAGS to compile atlas.
It is tricky to try to add logic to spot this in the ebuild. Possibly we have to filter flags...

I am not sure. I need numpy/scipy and octave which use the lapack/blas bunch.

This worked for me. Thank you for digging this up!

I also don't understand what is particular about my env that this problem triggered here, and apparently works ok for others (assuming I'm not the only person in the world using gentoo + atlas).

numpy/scipy only need virtual/blas virtual/lapack which in turn will make sure you have a blas and lapack on your system. You need to be sure to eselect a blas and lapack before merging anything that depends on them otherwise we'll get interesting build logs.

Using atlas for lapack in scipy create a few extra direct interfaces to clapack that won't be there with lapack-reference but I don't believe that's visible at the user level (unless you are an expert) it's all under the hood.

Issues about atlas crop every so often. It is a tricky package ;)
Comment 14 Johannes Buchner 2013-12-25 00:22:20 UTC
Now I have all these packages installed, but numpy can not load because the symlinks

/usr/lib/libcblas.so
/usr/lib/libblas.so
/usr/lib/liblapack.so

are orphaned!
eselect does not handle them, it only does the pc files (e.g. /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/lapack.pc):
eselect blas set atlas
eselect cblas set atlas
eselect lapack set atlas

Using "eselect ... files" I find only these files are managed:
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/blas.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/cblas.pc
/usr/include/cblas.h
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/lapack.pc


I had to symlink them manually 
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libatllapack.so.3 /usr/lib/liblapack.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libatllapack.so.3 /usr/lib/liblapack.so.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libatlcblas.so /usr/lib/libcblas.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libopenblas.so /usr/lib/libblas.so

Now "python -c 'import numpy'" works again. But this is a really bad idea.
How is this supposed to work since eselect does not manage these symlinks?

They unfortunately have to be manually removed. Do not keep them, do not replace them or things will break in "interesting ways".

Correct. All ebuilds that have a dependency to blas/lapack are supposed to use the .pc files. If you find one that doesn't fill a bug here straight away.

See above don't do that.

Once you have updated your blas/lapack stack all the packages using blas/lapack have to be rebuild to be linked to the correct library files. So once you have removed all these links, proceed to emerge numpy/scipy/octave again.

Works ok now. The change I had not understood was that instead of runtime linking, the packages are now linked to the specific libraries at compile time.
