Just remove the -L and -l arguments -- OMPI's "mpif90" (and other wrapper compilers) will do all that magic for you. Many -L/-l arguments in MPI application Makefiles are throwbacks to older versions of MPICH wrapper compilers that didn't always work properly. Those days are long gone; most (all?) MPI wrapper compilers do not need you to specify -L/-l these days. On Jun 10, 2007, at 3:08 PM, Jeff Pummill wrote:Maybe the "dumb question" of the week, but here goes...
