Thanks, new tag pushed. > I think we also need to change powerpc and ppc64 to mpich, as of openmpi3: > " > configure: error: Big endian PPC is no longer supported. > " Ah yes, I remember seeing the upstream commit where they decided to remove the code rather than not have it officially supported. I don't understand why they have to remove something like that when things like hppa and ia64 still work, but alas. I'll let someone with more MPI knowledge deal with that when the 2->3 transition occurs. Having said that, I *believe* if you alter the configure script to treat big-endian powerpc like little-endian powerpc it will build fine, but they may have since deleted other required bits. I wonder if we can convince upstream to leave it in as an unofficial thing... :( James
