[mpich-discuss] RHEL5 yum build doesn't have mpif90?

[Adams, Jeb]

Hello,

I am trying to enable MPICH2 on a RHEL5 server farm for NONMEM use. Users (self included) will never run as root on this machine. I do have sudo and used that to install from yum:

sudo yum install mpich2.x86_64

yum info has the following:
[usto-sapp-nmm02 3] ~ > yum info mpich2
Loaded plugins: security
Installed Packages
Name       : mpich2
Arch       : x86_64
Version    : 1.2.1p1
Release    : 1.el5
Size       : 7.4 M
Repo       : installed
Summary    : A high-performance implementation of MPI
URL        : http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2
License    : MIT
Description: MPICH2 is a high-performance and widely portable implementation of
           : the MPI standard. This release has all MPI-2.1 functions and
           : features required by the standard with the exeption of support for
           : the "external32" portable I/O format.  The mpich2 binaries in this
           : RPM packages were configured to use the default process manager
           : 'MPD' using the default device 'ch3'. The ch3 device was configured
           : with support for the nemesis channel that allows for shared-memory
           : and TCP/IP sockets based communication.  This build also include
           : support for using '/usr/sbin/alternatives' and/or the 'module
           : environment' to select which MPI implementation to use when
           : multiple implementations are installed.

After install and configuring secret words and what not, we noticed mpif90 didn't seem to exist. NONMEM is a FORTRAN compiled, so that's a must. mpich2version looks like it got built:

[usto-sapp-nmm02 7] ~ > mpich2version

But which mpif90 returns nothing and locate mpif90 only returns documentation.

[usto-sapp-nmm02 10] ~ > locate mpif90
/etc/alternatives/mpif90-man
/etc/mpich2-x86_64/mpif90.conf
/usr/share/man/man1/mpif90.1.gz
/usr/share/man/mpich2/man1/mpif90.1.gz

Any next steps would be appreciated!
