Hi, there's an autoconf macro you can find at http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/acx_mpi.html
it might be useful to you. I prefer to use it just to test the existence of MPI and then inside configure.ac something like (ugly): (...) MPI_CXXLIBS=`mpicxx --showme:link` MPI_CXXFLAGS=`mpicxx --showme:compile` AC_SUBST(MPI_CXXLIBS) AC_SUBST(MPI_CXXFLAGS) (...) This is for C++, mind you, and then use these variables inside the Makefile.am's which works fine for me, both for building libraries and programs. Of course if mpicxx doesn't have the --showme you are out of luck with this approach. Another alternative would be to just use the macro and then define C/C++ compilers to point to the ones found by it, although I could never have it working perfectly when I use it along with libtool. If anyone has a better alternative, I would be glad to hear it!
