The trouble when I ran test_gerad_norm.m

[Lht97]

Hi,

I meet the following problem when using the MATLAB interface of NOMAD. The version of MATLAB I used is R2023a, and the version of NOMAD I used is NOMAD 4. My computer system is Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. After following the installation instructions, when I try to run test_gerad_norm.m under /home/<me>/Documents/nomad, it shows me the error:

I ran the following to install NOMAD:

cmake -DTEST_OPENMP=OFF -DBUILD_INTERFACE_MATLAB=ON -DBUILD_INTERFACE_PYTHON=ON -S . -B build/release
cmake --build build/release
cmake --install build/release

I added the following to the MATLAB path:

/home/<me>/Documents/nomad/build/release/lib
/home/<me>/Documents/nomad/build/release/interfaces/Matlab_MEX

The compiler I am using is GCC version 10.5.0.

Do you have any idea how to solve this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help,
Cheers,
Haitian.

Hello,

Several things to check.

• Make sure to have the selected gcc compiler. In my case, I need to use gcc 10.1 for Matlab 2012b but the default on my Linux is [gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44.0.3)]. When running the config I have
  cmake -DTEST_OPENMP=OFF -DBUILD_INTERFACE_MATLAB=ON -DBUILD_INTERFACE_PYTHON=ON -S . -B build/release -- The C compiler identification is GNU 10.1.0 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 10.1.0 -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working C compiler: /home/x86_64-unknown-linux_ol7-gnu/gcc-10.1.0/bin/gcc - skipped -- Detecting C compile features -- Detecting C compile features - done -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /home/x86_64-unknown-linux_ol7-gnu/gcc-10.1.0/bin/g++ - skipped

• In my case the Nomad libraries are in $NOMAD_HOME/build/release/lib64.

• Make sure that Nomad works without Matlab by running one example in $NOMAD_HOME/examples/

• You can check which libraries are loaded by the Matlab-Mex binary with the command ldd build/release/lib64/nomadOpt.mexa64
