Package: libmpich-shmem1.0-dev Version: 1.2.7-8 Severity: important I have both the mpd and the shmem dev packages for mpich installed.
However after configuring the alternatives for the mpi link to use the shmem version, it won't compile nore link because /usr/lib/libmpi.so is a broken link: $ ls -l /usr/lib/libmpi.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2009-01-15 16:03 /usr/lib/libmpi.so -> /etc/alternatives/libmpi.so $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/libmpi.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 2009-01-20 19:26 /etc/alternatives/libmpi.so -> /usr/lib/mpich-shmem/lib/shared/libmpich.so $ ls -l /usr/lib/mpich-shmem/lib/shared/libmpich.so ls: cannot access /usr/lib/mpich-shmem/lib/shared/libmpich.so: No such file or directory It should point (I think) to libmpich-shmem.so Thanks for your time and involvement in Debian -- Alexandre Fayolle -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (70, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libmpich-shmem1.0-dev depends on: ii libmpich-shmem1.0gf 1.2.7-8 mpich-shmem runtime shared library libmpich-shmem1.0-dev recommends no packages.
