Description Satish Balay 2016-07-07 15:18:16 UTC
Description of problem:

installing mpich rpm provides mpicc etc compile wrappers. However they are broken until mpich-devel rpm is installed.

Perhaps these binaries should be packaged in mpich-devel - similar to openmpi - and avoid installing broken/incomplete compilers?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mpich-3.2-5.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install mpich
2. module load mpi
3. mpicc cpi.c

Actual results:
$ which mpicc
/usr/lib64/mpich/bin/mpicc
$ mpicc cpi.c
cpi.c:2:17: fatal error: mpi.h: No such file or directory
 #include "mpi.h"
                 ^
compilation terminated.



Expected results:

correct compile.

Additional info:

openmpi packages 'mpicc' in the devel package. Perhaps mpich should do the same.

[root@asterix ~]# yum whatprovides */mpicc

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 21:39:27 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Jan Kurik 2017-08-15 08:04:19 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 27 development cycle.
