Hi All, I’m trying run Pyfr on Rhel8.5. The other packages versions: - Python 3.9.16 - libxsmm-1.17 - gcc-8.5.0 (RHEL8.5 Default) - OpenMPI-4.1.2 - PyFR 1.15.0 (install ed with Pip) I built the libxsmm from source with documentation and when ı run “mpiexec -n 8 pyfr -b openmp -p euler-vortex.pyfrm euler-vortex.ini” I’m getting the error. “AttributeError: /home/libxsmm/libxsmm-1.17/lib/libxsmm.so: undefined symbol: libxsmm\_fsspmdm\_create” With PyFR-1.12.0 ı don’t get any error with same configuration. Is there something i’m missing? I tried build the libxsmm on the local disk and share storage. The result is same. Any suggestions? Thank all. Regards. ---

Your version of libxsmm is too old. From the installation guide: > [libxsmm](https://github.com/hfp/libxsmm) \>= commit 0db15a0da13e3d9b9e3d57b992ecb3384d2e15ea compiled as a shared library (STATIC=0) with BLAS=0. The absolute latest git revision of libxsmm contains some breaking changes, so I would go for that exact revision. Regards, Freddie. ---

I have the same problem and have no clue on what ‘‘commit 0db15a0da13e3d9b9e3d57b992ecb3384d2e15ea’’ means. ---

This means that you need to use a commit of libxsmm with a hash equal to or newer than that listed. Using `git log` you can see the history of your repo. ---

Thanks. However when I run PyFR it seems that the program is unable to load xsmm and libxsmm.so even if the path is set as the one in the instruction. ---

You need to set the path to be wherever _your_ compiled version of `libxsmm.so` is. This is unlikely to be identical to what is listed in the example. Regards, Freddie.
