Hi Sean, We both have 'arpack @3.1.3+mpich' installed but they were built with two very different compilers: mine with clang and yours with gcc45. If we force the user to specify the compiler then we can use require_active_variants to make sure everything is in line, e.g. arpack +mpich

I think in most cases that if you use MPI, then there is no need to specify the underlying compiler also (since compiling even non-MPI code in the package with mpich +gfortran is the same as just using gfortran). Recently, we sorted this out for the arpack port. Ah, that's something I
