yum install openmpi ?

[Magnar]

Hi,

I just tried installing OpenMPI on my Fedora 8 laptop by doing

yum install openmpi

It seemed to work fine, but when I try e.g.

which mpicc

it does not find anything. Shouldn't all paths and stuff be set up correctly when yum installs something? I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be a mpicc wrapper with OpenMPI. Has anyone had any luck installing OpenMPI via yum?

You need to run sudo yum install openmpi-devel

to install developer packages as well..

Tried the solution and still can't find mpicc or mpi either for that matter. Any ideas?

I have the same problem ... OpenMPI worked well (with mpicc command) before when I used FC10 ...

that is weird, yum can find it:

$ sudo yum provides */mpicc
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
openmpi-devel-1.3.1-1.fc11.i586 : Development files for openmpi
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/bin/mpicc
Filename    : /usr/share/openmpi/1.3.1-gcc/bin%{mode}/mpicc



openmpi-devel-1.3.1-1.fc11.x86_64 : Development files for openmpi
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/bin/mpicc
Filename    : /usr/share/openmpi/1.3.1-gcc/bin64/mpicc
[...]

Edit: just installed it, seems like they forgot to link mpicc to /usr/bin, or add it to the PATH variable or whatever.
so, to fix this, just do a

$ su -
# ln -s /usr/lib[64]/openmpi/bin/mpicc /usr/bin/mpicc

You've got the point newiLuvatar:
When openmpi and openmpi-devel are installed, there is mpicc in "/usr/lib/openmpi/bin/mpicc".

So the only bug is that there is no link in /usr/bin.

I can use mpicc with full path and there are no other problems ...

Actually, there was a similar minor problem, libmpi.so.0 needed by compiled application was also not linked in /usr/bin, it's location is in /usr/lib/openmpi/lib.

Static link in /usr/bin solved that problem too ...

same with libopen-rte.so.0, mpirun, mpiexec, ...

I used installed all the MPICH files in the package manager.
