Re: [OMPI users] configure/library question

2013-07-19 Thread Jeff Hammond 
Whoever designed the application you're trying to use to work only
with LIBS="-lmpi" indicates poor software engineering and a
low-quality application.

You can install or uninstall whatever you like but it is incorrect to
think that MPICH is broken because it does not provide libmpi.{a,so}.

In the absence of a sufficient understanding of how to link against
MPI, your best bet is to use CC=mpicc (and friends for LD, CXX,
FC,...).

Probably a lot more familiar to the folks on the MPICH mailing list - this is 
the mailing list for Open MPI :-)

Hello all!

I just downloaded the MPICH 3.0.4 tar.gz

Then I used
tar xfvz tar-3.0.4.tar.gz
./configure
make
make install

Now I'm trying to compile someone else's program and it can't find libmpi or 
libmpich.a

I did find libmpich.a, but no libmpi.

Does this sound familiar, please?

Thanks for any help!

Sincerely,
Erin
