Hi all,

since the new release is out, I am trying to compile gretl with the
additional MPI support. I added the configure option --with-mpi and
the additional build requirement openmpi-devel, which should include
the mpicc compiler in /usr/lib/bin, but it's not found by the
configure script, please see  the build logs. [1]
It would be great if anyone could check what might be wrong.

Thanks for trying this, Johannes.

I routinely build gretl with MPI support on Fedora 23. I have the
openmpi.x86_64 and openmpi-devel.x86_64 packages installed (version
1.8.8-5.fc23.2). These packages place mpicc in
/usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpicc and the libraries in
/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib. In addition I have

module load mpi/openmpi-x86_64

in my ~/.bash_profile. Under these conditions everything "just works." I
don't need to give "--with-mpi" when running the
configure script, it's detected and used automatically.

I've managed to build it properly and the updates will go out shortly.

Well, that was too early. I am able to build it on 64bit, but 32bit still fails. I've asked on the devel mailing list of fedora. [1]

Johannes

Ok, problem found. It seems, that the configure script does not check the complete library path in the 32bit case. Please see the thread on fedora-devel for details. Not sure if this is a general problem in the configure script or rather specific to fedora.

I've now added /usr/lib/openmpi/lib to the default MPI library search path in gretl's configure script (in git, that is).

When configuring the 2016d release source it's possible to use
--with-mpi-lib=<path> to help things along.
