123. Adding python support to nwchem under debian

I've posted the general build instructions for nwchem 6.0 with mpi support here: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/nwchem-60-with-openmpi-support-on.html

However, those instructions don't include python support.

0. Download,  extract nwchem and install blas etc. as shown in http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/nwchem-60-with-openmpi-support-on.html

1. Edit nwchem-6.0/src/config/makefile.h
Change line 1962 from

EXTRA_LIBS +=    -lnwcutil  -lpthread -lutil -ldl

to

EXTRA_LIBS +=    -lnwcutil  -lpthread -lutil -ldl -lz -lssl

2. Install python headers
sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev

3. Execute the following commands (one by one or by putting them in a shell script)

export LARGE_FILES=TRUE
export TCGRSH=/usr/bin/ssh
export NWCHEM_TOP=`pwd`
export NWCHEM_TARGET=LINUX64
export NWCHEM_MODULES="all python"
export PYTHONHOME=/usr
export PYTHONVERSION=2.7
export USE_MPI=y
export USE_MPIF=y
export MPI_LOC=/usr/lib/openmpi/lib
export MPI_INCLUDE=/usr/lib/openmpi/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/openmpi/lib
export LIBMPI="-lmpi -lopen-rte -lopen-pal -ldl -lmpi_f77 -lpthread"
cd $NWCHEM_TOP/src
make clean
make nwchem_config
make FC=gfortran

It should work fine and after a long build you'll have python enabled binaries.

4. Testing
You can test whether there's python support by creating test.nw with

python
for n in range(1,6):
        print n, n*2,n**2
end
task python

and running it with 

mpirun -n 1 nwchem test.nw

which gives

  NWChem Input Module
                                -------------------


                               NWChem Python program
                               ---------------------
for n in range(1,6):
        print n, n*2,n**2
1 2 1
2 4 4
3 6 9
4 8 16
5 10 25
1 2 1
2 4 4
3 6 9
4 8 16
5 10 25
 Task  times  cpu:        0.0s     wall:        0.0s

Done.


Note:
for ROCKS/CENTOS it was not necessary to edit src/config/makefile.h


The relevant parts in the the build configuration are

export NWCHEM_MODULES="all python"
export PYTHONHOME=/opt/rocks
export PYTHONVERSION=2.4

Other than that, just follow http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/building-nwchem-60-on-rocks-543centos.html

Edit nwchem-6.0/src/config/makefile.h
For LINUX64 look at lines 1960-1964

1960      ifeq ($(BUILDING_PYTHON),python)
1961 #   EXTRA_LIBS += -ltk -ltcl -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -ldl
1962      EXTRA_LIBS +=    -lnwcutil  -lpthread -lutil -ldl
1963   LDOPTIONS = -Wl,--export-dynamic
1964      endif

Change line 1962 to
EXTRA_LIBS +=    -lnwcutil  -lpthread -lutil -ldl -lz -lssl
