failed to convert GOTPCREL relocation; relink with --no-relax

[prabshr@gmail_com]

Hi,I get the following error message for CLM5.0 compilation with Intel compilers, during the final cesm bld ..ld: failed to convert GOTPCREL relocation; relink with --no-relaxThe above error message follows after multiple warning messages (e.g., ../clm5.0/cime/src/drivers/mct/main/cime_comp_mod.F90:2112:(.text+0x614): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32S against symbol `cime_comp_mod_mp_begstep_' defined in COMMON section in cime_comp_mod.o) As a trial, I simply added the --no-relax flag in the LDFLAGS (config_compilers.xml), but this also did not help ...I get the following warning message and again the above error message later:ifort: command line warning #10006: ignoring unknown option '-fno-relax'               ....  ld: failed to convert GOTPCREL relocation; relink with --no-relax Any suggestions?Best Regards,Prabhakar

Hi, Seems like found a solution to fix the compilation ...Adding of "-Wl,--no-relax" in LDFLAGS does not solve this problem, but "-mcmodel medium" in FFLAGS fixes this issue, after searching for "Relocation truncated to fit" in google search engine, it comes up with this link which was helpful to solve the issue "https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-fortran-compiler-for-linux-and-mac-os-x/topic/268394"Best Regards,Prabhakar

Hi, I had the same issue. While trying "-mcmodel=medium" in FFLAGS, I got another error msg ifort: command line error: '-static' conflicts with '-mcmodel'
Does anyone know the reason? Simply add "--no-relax" does not work either with the ":ifort: command line warning #10006: ignoring unknown option '-fno-relax' " error as Prabhakar described. Thanks!

Well, the '-static' conflicts with '-mcmodel' seems to be solved by adding <env name="CRAYPE_LINK_TYPE">dynamic</env> in the config_machines.xml, after searching from Google. But I got the other error msg of

I'm trying to build cesm1_5_5 on NERSC Cori haswell. I noticed there are some posts with this error msg was fixed by updating pio, but I still see this error msg even after I did that.

Thanks!

Has there been any further update to this issue? I'm getting the same error as the OP when trying to build cesm1_2_2_1 on cheyenne.
