Public bug reported: Write a file like this called main.f90:
program mpitest implicit none include 'mpif.h' logical :: flag integer :: ier call MPI_Init(ier) if (ier /= 0) then print *, 'Unable to initialize MPI: ', ier stop 1 endif call MPI_Initialized(flag, ier) if (ier /= 0) then print *, 'Unable to check MPI initialization state: ', ier stop 1 endif call MPI_Finalize(ier) if (ier /= 0) then print *, 'Unable to finalize MPI: ', ier stop 1 endif end program mpitest Compile it like this: gfortran -I. -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/include -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/include/openmpi -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/lib -Wall -O0 -g -pthread -o main.f90.o -c main.f90 gfortran -o exef main.f90.o -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/lib -L/usr//lib -Wl,--start-group -lmpi_usempif08 -lmpi_usempi_ignore_tkr -lmpi_mpifh -lmpi -Wl,--end-group The compile step will work but linking will fail with this error message: /usr/bin/ld: main.f90.o(.debug_info+0xd8): unresolvable R_X86_64_64 relocation against symbol `mpi_fortran_argv_null_' /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status The same code compiles and links fine on Debian stable i386.
