Yep, just found that out myself. Thanks. So here's a workaround that works for me with either set of libraries installed. Each has their own symbol to avoid including the C++ API, which is where the trouble lies. mkoctfile -DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX=1 -DOMPI_SKIP_MPICXX=1 helloworld.cc I don't know enough about HDF5, but if it doesn't make use of the MPI C++ bindings at all, I'd argue this should be reassigned to hdf5 upstream so H5public.h would now contain: #ifdef H5_HAVE_PARALLEL # define MPICH_SKIP_MPICXX 1 # define OMPI_SKIP_MPICXX 1 # include <mpi.h> #endif -- mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
