Moreover ld manual page says that on platforms that support shared libraries it looks for .so first and .a after that. But I've tried Fedora Core 6 and 9 and both give same result and on both strace shows that ld doesn't attempt to look for libmpi_f90.so at all. Does anyone has experience building MPI on Fedora? Are there any additional steps required other then yum install openmpi*? WBR Oleg V.
