Hey The devel/openmpi package currently has this line:
BROKEN-powerpc = checking if Fortran 77 compiler works... no in the Makefile. But I removed that line and built it on my g4 emac and it seems to work fine. The package built and a few sample mpi programs worked successfully. So the problem seems to be solved. -David Mattli diff -u -p -u -r1.15 Makefile --- devel/openmpi/Makefile 1 Jul 2013 10:39:17 -0000 1.15 +++ devel/openmpi/Makefile 7 May 2014 14:55:42 -0000 @@ -2,7 +2,6 @@ COMMENT = open source MPI-2 implementation BROKEN-hppa = error: Could not determine global symbol label prefix -BROKEN-powerpc = checking if Fortran 77 compiler works... no V= 1.4.1 DISTNAME = openmpi-$V
