stage-zero-files-generation failed on malloc

We met a lots of dependences error when run configure, so we use spack to load most of dependences and set PKG_CONFIG_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc to make them to be found during building.

- intel-oneapi-mkl: 2024.2.2
- intel-oneapi-mpi: 2021.16.0
- hwloc: 2.11.1
- parallel-netcdf: 1.14.0
- netcdf: 4.9.2
- blaspp: 2025.05.28
- openblas: 0.3.30

This method let us run configure and clean build successfully. However, when we tried to run the following command, the error pops out.

Using gdb to debug, we guess it caused by incompatible dependences version(mpi, starpu, blas most likely).

If it is indeed as we have guessed, can you list the dependences and corresponding version, so we can align with yours.
Thanks

Hello @get-jiang,

Thank you for the detailed report and for sharing the dependency versions.

It appears that the issue is related to the very recent version of Intel oneAPI MKL (2024.2.2). We’ve observed that such newer releases can introduce compatibility issues with several of our core dependencies — particularly Chameleon, HiCMA, and other libraries that rely on specific MKL symbol versions or linking behaviors.

To ensure a stable build and consistent runtime behavior, I’d recommend downgrading MKL to one of the following versions that have been fully validated in our environment:

• Intel oneAPI MKL 2020.x
• Intel oneAPI MKL 2022.x

Both versions work well with the current stack of dependencies, including StarPU, DPLASMA, and PaRSEC.

Please try rebuilding with one of these MKL versions and let us know if the issue persists — this should resolve the compatibility problem you’re encountering.

Thank you for using ExaGeoStatCPP! 🚀
Best regards,
