How To Fix ga-config: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu ga-config is provided by libglobalarrays-dev package.

libglobalarrays-dev is:

Global Arrays is a portable Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) shared-memory programming environment for distributed and shared memory computers. It augments the message-passing model by providing a shared-memory like access to distributed dense arrays.

ARMCI provides one-sided remote memory operations used by GA.

ComEx (Communication Runtime for Extreme Scale) provides vector and strided interfaces to optimize performance of remote memory copy operations for non-contiguous data.

DRA (Disk Resident Arrays) is a parallel I/O library that maintains dense 2-dim arrays on disk.

SF (Shared Files) is a parallel I/O library that allows noncollective I/O to a parallel file.

EAF (Exclusive Access Files) is parallel I/O library that supports I/O to private files.

TCGMSG is a simple, efficient, but becoming obsolete message-passing library.

TCGMSG-MPI is a TCGMSG interface implementation on top of MPI and ARMCI.

MA is a dynamic memory allocator/manager for Fortran and C programs.

GA++ is a C++ binding for global arrays.

This package contains the static libraries and header files. Static libraries are provided for both OpenMPI and MPICH.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install libglobalarrays-dev

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install libglobalarrays-dev.

sudo apt -y install libglobalarrays-dev

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install libglobalarrays-dev
