[petsc-users] Error "Attempting to use an MPI routine before initializing MPICH" after compiling PETSc with Intel MPI and GCC

[Roland Richter]

At least according to configure.log mpiexec was defined as

Checking for program /opt/intel/oneapi/mpi/2021.4.0//bin/mpiexec...found
                  Defined make macro "MPIEXECEXECUTABLE" to
"/opt/intel/oneapi/mpi/2021.4.0/bin/mpiexec"

When running ex19 with this mpiexec it fails with the usual error, even
though all configuration steps worked fine. I attached the configuration
log.

Regards,

Roland
