Hi,

error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpichf90

I am new to parallel processing with MPI. I am having a problem with similar error msg as a previous post (the bottom has the log file with the error msg):

http://www.pgroup.com/userforum/viewtopic.php?t=1589&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I tried his solution but the problem persists.

I use “pgf90” and “mpif90” wrapper. Following are their locations:

$ which mpif90
/usr/bin/mpif90




$ which pgf90
/opt/pgi/linux86-64/6.1/bin/pgf90

I also see folders named “mpich.pgi” and “mpich2.pgi” located in folder “/opt”.

I did some googling and am guessing maybe the file “libmpichf90” is missing…

I then ran “/sbin/ldconfig -p” command, and got the following from the list:

libmpichf90nc.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libmpichf90nc.so.2
	libmpichf90nc.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libmpichf90nc.so.2

I really appreciate if someone can help me.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Mike,

You are tryng to link statically (-Wl,-Bstatic) but your MPICH library is a shared object (.so). You’ll either need to find a static libmpichf90.a library, or remove the -Wl,-Bstatic option.

Hope this helps,
Mat

Hi Mat,

you are a life saver! It worked by deleting “-Wl, -Bastatic”.

Thanks a million.
