Openmpi on Fedora 21

I am trying to compile some code in Fedora 21 using 'mpif90'.

First I install openmpi with 'yum':

[root@localhost Inversion]# yum install openmpi
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Package openmpi-1.8.3-2.fc21.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

But then when I compile using 'make' it doesn't work:

[root@localhost Inversion]# make all
mpif90 -O3 -c src/dispersion.f90
make: mpif90: Command not found
Makefile:18: recipe for target 'obj' failed
make: *** [obj] Error 127

As you can see I've downloaded openmpi package but it wont compile.

You cannot compile because you haven't loaded the necessary module.

You need to load the environmental module, this is how Fedora is handling openmpi when you install it using:

dnf install openmpi

(in Fedora 25)

Just follow the following steps:

  1. In your terminal, do:

    module avail

    You should see an output something like this:

    --------------------- /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles ----------------------
    dot         module-git  module-info modules     null        use.own
    ---------------------------- /etc/modulefiles -----------------------------
    mpi/openmpi-x86_64

    Notice there is the mpi/openmpi-x86_64 module available for you to 'load'.

  2. In your terminal, you just do:

    module load mpi/openmpi-x86_64
  3. Now you have access to all the mpi compilers like mpif90 and mpic++ etc. You can see that the compiler binaries are stored in: /usr/lib64/openmpi/bin:

    $ which mpif90 

    and you see the output is:

    /usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpif90
