A separate comment here. You said you compiled MPICH2, yet if you look at
the complaint you're getting, it's about OpenMPI. Mac OS X comes built with
a Fortran-disabled version of OpenMPI (through XCode tools, which you need
to have installed for MacPorts). It would appear as though the mpif90 that
you're trying to use is from this MPI implementation, which is not the one
that you actually want to use. Try the following:
Set your PATH so that the mpi executables (mipexec, mpirun, mpif90, mpicc,
etc.) from your MPICH2 installation appear first. By default, I think they
are built in /usr/local, so you should put /usr/local/bin in your PATH
before /usr/bin. Another option is to set MPI_HOME to your new MPICH2
directory (in my example above, this would be export MPI_HOME=/usr/local for
bash), and explicitly set the fortran and c compilers in your config.h file
to $MPI_HOME/bin/mpif90 and $MPI_HOME/bin/mpicc, respectively.
As a note to developers -- should the configure script be modified to set
the parallel compilers from $MPI_HOME, since it's now required to be set,
anyway? The advantages are that it will always pull the proper compiler and
will ignore whatever may be laying around in the user's PATH, but the
disadvantages are that it will override user-set aliases (if this is in fact
a disadvantage). However, those that want to fuss with it are probably
those most equipped to do it. Food for thought.
I hope this helps,
Jason
