Source: openmpi,mpich2,lam,mpich Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-science@lists.debian.org Greetings, There are mpi alternative slaves for libmpi.so and libmpi++.so which are convenient for C and C++ development. But a lot of MPI code is in Fortran (77 or 90), for which there are no such symlinks. This requires packages to use various methods to determine which MPI implementation is installed by mpi-default-dev in order to figure out how to link to the Fortran lib. I propose libmpif77.so and libmpif90.so slaves to the mpi alternatives symlink which link to libfmpich.so, libmpi_f77.so, libmpi_f90.so etc. -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
