errors for installation on a new computer, please help me!

[Wang-Yihu]

For installation of CARDINAL, I reinstall my Ubuntu 22.0. However, errors happen again and again. I suggest you can try install it in a new computer to summarize a perfect installation progress, ahahahahahahahahahahahah.╮(￣▽￣)╭╮(￣▽￣)╭╮(￣▽￣)╭╮(￣▽￣)╭
I follow the progress:

(The font looks so strange, I do not know what's going on……LOL)
https://cardinal.cels.anl.gov/start.html
Access

git clone https://github.com/neams-th-coe/cardinal.git
cd cardinal

Disable NekRS
export ENABLE_NEK=false
Fetch Dependencies
./scripts/get-dependencies.sh

Set these for .bashrc
export NEKRS_HOME=$HOME/cardinal/install
export HYPRE_DIR=$CONDA_PREFIX
export CC=mpicc
export CXX=mpicxx
export FC=mpif90
export OPENMC_CROSS_SECTIONS= MyCrossSection

===============================================================================================
Then I install the Conda MOOSE environment.
https://mooseframework.inl.gov/getting_started/installation/conda.html
I can make sure that for MOOSE Multiphysics, this can run without errors in .contrib/moose/test

conda activate moose
make -j4

===============================================================================================
Then I install OpenMC
https://docs.openmc.org/en/stable/quickinstall.html
I can make sure that for OpenMC, this can run without errors in .contrib/moose/test

conda activate openmc-env
./contrib/openmc/examples/pincell build_xml.py
openmc

===============================================================================================
I'm trying tomakein the cardinal top direction, but it throw errors:

I try to
sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev
but it does not work.

I try to install another OpenMC for another install method
https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/openmc
conda install -c "conda-forge/label/cf202003" openmc
Then I try make n the cardinal top direction, but it throw a different error

Do you know how to figure this problem?
Or do you know the perfect progress to install the cardinal. I do not mind reinstall Ubuntu again!

[aprilnovak]

You don't need to separately install OpenMC or NekRS to use Cardinal. Cardinal will automatically build OpenMC and Nek for you, and I think this:

conda activate openmc-env

is causing a conflict because your system has 2 different versions of OpenMC. Can you please do

conda deactivate openmc-env

and then repeat the Cardinal build steps?

[Wang-Yihu]

So sad, it cannot work....Now, I‘ m buying a new computer...I'll get back soon and try to install again!(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

[aprilnovak]

Hi @Wang-Yihu - I've tried making the build instructions even simpler - please check out this new page: https://cardinal.cels.anl.gov/start.html

If that still doesn't work, perhaps we can set up a time for a video chat to go over the steps together?

[Wang-Yihu]

Ok, thank you very much. I have sent email to [email protected]

[wangshuaiwu]

I also encountered this problem, I tried to use this method to solve it

[wangshuaiwu]

The last problem was solved, and now this problem comes up again，I found a solution on the Internet, which is to execute this command
“sudo dnf install glibc-static”
But to no avail, the same problem still arises

[Wang-Yihu]

I have solved my problem.
