I have defined everything as asked in nwchem help section but still it raises ARMCI_NETWORK error, while trying to install NWCHEM 6.3.2.
OpenMPI installation also went fine.
Here is my .bashrc profile.
export NWCHEM_TOP=/home/abhisek/NWCHEM/nwchem-6.3.revision2-src.2013-10-17
export NWCHEM_TARGET=LINUX64
export ARMCI_NETWORK=OPENIB
export LARGE_FILES=TRUE
export NWCHEM_MODULES=all
export USE_MPI=y
export USE_MPIF=y
export USE_MPIF4=y
export MPI_LOC=/home/abhisek/opt/openmpi/
export LIBMPI="-lmpi_f90 -lmpi_f77 -lmpi -ldl -Wl,--export-dynamic -lnsl -lutil"
export MPI_LIB=/home/abhisek/opt/openmpi/lib
export MPI_INCLUDE=/home/abhisek/opt/openmpi/include


giving an error while i execute a command "make":

Getting no idea on what to do..
Error remains same with nwchem-6.1.1

It says :
ls: cannot access /usr/include/infiniband/verbs.h: No such file or directory



I am not being able to settle the issue with OPENIB.
Any help regarding this will be very helpful.
thank you.

Are you sure that you have Infiniband network hardware on your computer?
If this is the case, what linux distribution are you using?

I am using Fedora 20.
And I am not being able to install openib in my computer, which may fix the error. However if I exclude the line 
export ARMCI_NETWORK=OPENIB
then also I am getting caught in error.
I am not getting it on what to do with AMRCI_NETWORK in .bashrc of mine which might help installing Nwchem6.3 or 6.1.1.
thank you.

What error do you get when you unset ARMCI_NETWORK=OPENIB?

Hello Edoapra,
I have again tried again using 'yum install nwchem' removing OPENIB line from '.bashrc' .
It also did completed successfully. But I am not being able to invoke nwchem by just typing it.
When I give 
locate nwchem

it produces following:
/etc/profile.d/nwchem.csh
/etc/profile.d/nwchem.sh
/usr/share/nwchem
/usr/share/doc/nwchem-common
/usr/share/doc/nwchem-common/LICENSE.TXT
/usr/share/nwchem/**
/usr/share/<many other>


Surprisingly, no " /usr/local/bin/ " file.
I am really confused on what to do with it. Its just trapping me every-way.
I have also installed openmpi using 'yum install'. But though it avoided OPENIB problem but still can't make 'em working.
:(

Hello.
The error I am getting when I unset OPENIB and perform the whole thing again from the begining:
as
1. set paths for NWCHEM_TOP and preinstalled OpenMPI.
2. make nwchem_config
3 make [giving error]

This problem is cause by not having a working MPI installation as stated in the other thread

Let's avoid having two parallel threads.
