gfortran/linking library issue

Dear Opensuse users:
Can anyone clue me in to what this means? I believe it means it can’t find some library. It’s a gfortran code which compiles on my vanilla OS 12.3x64 box, but throws this error on 13.1x64. Same code, same stuff installed. (couldn’t get any hits in google on this one…) Thank You!!

EDIT: I thought it might be helpful to give a more verbose linker dump…

Your search - -lmpi_f77 - did not match any documents.
Suggestions:

  • Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
  • Try different keywords.
  • Try more general keywords.

Do you have openmpi, openmpi-devel and possibly openmpi-devel-static installed?

Run ldconfig after installing, just in case.

Hi Miuku - thank you for the check-in. Yes, I always install devel and static (when available). So maybe OpenSuSE changed its openmpi version - they used to compile against all commonly used versions of fortran, but maybe no longer?

EDIT: well, no, I guess it still supports f77

I downloaded and built the latest OpenMPI, and changed system references (by the PATH statement and environment variables) to that build, but get the same error. I’m thinking it might be some recent change in OpenMPI which depricated the -lmpi_f77 library reference. I can’t find a library named libmpi_f77.* referenced here:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/gmake-error-[2]-usr-bin-ld-cannot-find-lmpi_f77-573481/

OK, I verified by some system-wide searches that after about 1.6.x of OpenMPI, they changed library references and file names in a way that broke the NASA model I’m using. So I guess I need to download and build openmpi 1.6.x and use that to build this software.

Hi Miuku (and everyone) - I wanted to let you know that building OpenMPI 1.6.5 and referencing it in PATH to build my code worked fine. I guess the OpenMPI folks changed things around sans backward compatibility.

THANKS!!!
