problems using MPI with fortran90

[newAbsoftUser]

Hi there,

I am trying to compile functioning fortran 90 code on my iMac cuad-core snow leapord. This works fine as a terminal application, but only uses one of the four available processors. I would like to make use of the others by parallelising the code, but get the following error using the MPI Application option

Unfortunately, this version of MPI was not compiled with
Fortran F90 support. As a result, the mpif90 compiler is non-functional

I have installed the OpenMPI following the instructions at
http://www.absoft.com/Products/Compilers/Fortran/Linux/fortran95/MPich_Instructions.html     (using the 64-bit option)
but this has had no effect.

Please help!

After performing the make and make install commands, did you add the location of the newly built openmpi to your PATH variable? Apple ships a build of Mpich without Fortran90 support which is installed in /usr/bin. If you do not add the location of the new OpenMPI build, you will still be running the one supplied by Apple.

I believe the default install location for OpenMPI is /usr/local/bin, so you should modify your PATH variable to include this directory before /usr/bin, as in:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
