Description Colin Macdonald 2011-02-19 09:43:36 UTC 
mpicc didn't work and a small amount of googling told me to run "module load openmpi-i386".  But I didn't have a "module" command on my system.

Took me quite some time to sort this out, but eventually realized that was something else I had to install.  I found this:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/EnvironmentModules

which says:

"Packaging note
When creating RPMs containing module files, be sure to Requires: environment-modules for directory ownership and usability."

So looks like a bug to me since I had openmpi installed but not environment-modules.

Looks like this has been fixed already.

$ rpm -q openmpi
openmpi-1.5-3.fc15.x86_64

$ rpm -q --requires openmpi|grep enviro
environment-modules
