mpb-mpi fails to execute find-k

[pavlo2014]

Dear All,

May be it is a bug, may be not. However, all copies of MPB installed on my computers are affected.

When I run MPB as "mpirun -np 1 mpb-mpi strip.ctl" it executes well and produces expected results.

However, when I try to use two or more nodes by running "mpirun -np 2 mpb-mpi strip.ctl" or "mpirun -np 3 mpb-mpi strip.ctl", MPB interrupts and throws out the error message:

Solving for bands 1 to 4...
CHECK failure on line 233 of maxwell_op.c: Failure creating FFTW3 plans
application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, 1) - process 0
CHECK failure on line 233 of maxwell_op.c: Failure creating FFTW3 plans
application called MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, 1) - process 1

= BAD TERMINATION OF ONE OF YOUR APPLICATION PROCESSES
= EXIT CODE: 1
= CLEANING UP REMAINING PROCESSES

= YOU CAN IGNORE THE BELOW CLEANUP MESSAGES

Best wishes

ps:

1. MPI version of MPB has been build in the way suggested in MPB installation instructions.
2. mpb-mpi --version returns

   Using libctl 3.2.2 and Guile 2.0.9.
3. Reproduced on Ubuntu 13.10, Centos 6.5, Centos 7, Scientific Linux 6.5. Other systems are likely affected.
4. mpirun -info
   HYDRA build details:

I meet the same error return, except "mpirun -np 1 mpb-mpi xxx.ctl" is also not running. But "mpb xxx.ctl" has the correct result. I guess that is because we have different mpi implementation.

My system:

1. Arch yaourt automatically installed mpb-mpi
2. mpb-mpi --version:
   mpb_mpi 1.5, Copyright (C) 1999-2012, MIT
   Using libctl 3.2.2 and Guile 2.0.13.
3. Arch Linux - Linux 4.8.2
4. mpirun --version
   mpirun (Open MPI) 1.10.4
5. FFTW version 3.3.4 build with MPI support
6. gcc --version
   gcc (GCC) 6.2.1 20160830

Another try on Ubuntu 16.04 gives same result:

1. mpb-mpi --version:
   mpb_mpi 1.5, Copyright (C) 1999-2012, MIT
   Using libctl 3.2.2 and Guile 2.0.11.
2. Ubuntu 16.04 xenial
3. mpirun --version
   mpirun (Open MPI) 1.10.2
4. fftw3 and libfftw3 packages installed
5. gcc --version
   gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.2) 5.4.0 20160609

Hi,
Sorry for digging this up, but I have the exact same issue.

mpb-mpi --version
mpb_mpi 1.10.0, Copyright (C) 1999-2012, MIT
Using libctl 4.5.0 and Guile 2.0.11.

Scientific Linux 7.5

mpirun --version
mpirun (Open MPI) 4.0.2

fftw3.3.8

gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 9.2.0
Copyright (C) 2019 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

And I have the same error with an Intel based build

Thank you for your time
