Hi Zbigniew:

I know others have built pnetcdf against openmpi, so we should be able
to figure this out. 

could be a couple things.  Can you show me how you are invoking
configure?  And then can you also show me the piece of 'config.log'
that tests for MPI_File_sync?  Here's what one possible success
condition looks like:

configure:12639: checking for library containing MPI_File_sync
configure:12680: /home/robl/work/soft/mpich2/bin/mpicc -o conftest -Wall -g   conftest.c  >&5
configure:12686: $? = 0
configure:12714: result: none required

There might be a few more lines in the failure case, but should let us
know what went wrong.

thanks
