[mpich-discuss] Compiling mpich2 using Intel Fortran Compiler v12

[O'Sullivan, Niall (HMRC)]

Thank you all for your responses.

The installer guide instructions in section 2.2 were followed and
completed up as far as which mpicc and which mpiexec, these outputs as
follows:

which mpicc
/home/hmrc/mpich2-install/bin/mpicc
which mpiexec
/home/hmrc/mpich2-install/bin/mpiexec

The installation is on a single PC so steps 9 and 10 were skipped.

An error arose in response to step 11 after entering the command mpiexec
-n 5 -f machinefile ./examples/cpi, see below:

hmrc at linuxadmin-Vostro-3550:/tmp/hmrc/mpich2-1.4.1p1$ mpiexec -n 5 -f
machinefile ./examples/cpi

The various directories and commands used during the installation are as
follows:

files unpacked to : /home/hmrc/Mpich2/mpich2-1.4.1p1
installation directory : /home/hmrc/mpich2-install
build directory : /tmp/hmrc/mpich2-1.4.1p1

configure command : /home/hmrc/Mpich2/mpich2-1.4.1p1/configure
--prefix=/home/hmrc/mpich2-install |& tee c.txt F77=ifort FC=ifort
build mpich2: make 2>&1 | tee m.txt
install mpich2 commands: make install 2>&1 | tee mi.txt
add bin subdirectory to path: PATH=/home/hmrc/mpich2-install/bin:$PATH ;
export PATH

All of these completed without error until an attempt was made to run an
MPI job with mpiexec, see details above.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Best regards,
Niall O'Sullivan
