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

Wed Aug 17 12:10:05 CDT 2011

I installed with sudo, to be sure. I included that tidbit to preclude folks replying with "su into root and do the install," as that is not an option.

Your fix seems to have done the trick though, thanks much!

For webcrawling sake:
RHEL mpich2 yum mpif90 mpicc mpixx mpic++ 

If installing mpich2 from yum repositories, be sure to install both mpich2 and mpich2-devel if you need the compiler wrapper scripts for mpif90, mpixx, mpicc, mpic++.
