Package: libopenmpi-dev Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Hi, In the last bug I reported: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457088 I was told, that the mpi.h is in /usr/include/openmpi However, in the clean environment, the libopenmpi-dev package fails to put mpi.h into /usr/include/openmpi. How to reproduce the problem: $ sudo cowbuilder --update # or --c 500 unstable debian.certik.cz reate if you never used cowbuilder before $ sudo cowbuilder --login # apt-get install libopenmpi-dev # ls /usr/include/openmpi ls: /usr/include/openmpi: No such file or directory In the last bug, it was suggested, that this could be a problem in the broken update-alternatives package. This could be the real problem, but unfortunately, as a consequence, libopenmpi-dev isn't working. I am reporting this bug as a normal bug, but I think the severity is serious, because it's a violation of the FHS not to put the *.h files into /usr/include or any subdirectory. How about just using plain "ln -s"? Like this: ln -s /usr/lib/openmpi/include/ /usr/include/openmpi This should fix the problem, if update-alternatives doesn't work.
