test.c

Description of problem:

Package hdf5-mpich-devel currently requires only hdf5-mpich (which in turn requires mpich) and does not require mpich-devel. Then when compiling software which uses hdf5-mpich-devel, linking against libmpi (i.e. -lmpi) fails because package mpich provides the versioned libraries (i.e. libmpi.so.12), but mpich-devel provides the symbolic link (i.e. libmpi.so) needed for linking.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Without package mpich-devel installed, install hdf5-mpich-devel and its dependences.
2. [Matthew@strider ~]$ module load mpi/mpich-x86_64
3. Try to compile a program e.g. test.c:
   [Matthew@strider ~]$ mpicc -o test.exe test.c

Actual results:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpi
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Expected results:

[Matthew@strider ~]$ mpicc -o test.out test.c
produces binary test.out

Additional info:

Installing package mpich-devel fixes this. The hdf5-openmpi-devel package correctly requires openmpi-devel, so this packaging issue is not an issue for for the OpenMPI implementation:
