#40417: arpack @3.1.3: remove openmpi from default variants -----------------------+--------------------- Reporter: takeshi@… | Owner: mmoll@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Keywords: | Port: arpack -----------------------+--------------------- A novice user reported a failure of octave-devel. I found that it was because of arpack. When installing octave-devel from scratch, a user implicitly or explicitly specifies one of the fortran compilers (g95/gcc4x). However, g95 or gcc4x variant conflicts with openmpi, which is one of the default variants. I assume that those who need PARPACK are power users. They can serially install openmpi with on of the fortran compilers, then arpack +openmpi and octave-devel with one of the fortran compilers. For those who just needs octave-devel, the serial installation would be a hurdle and it is difficult for them to understand why installation is unsuccessful. Therefore I suggest to remove openmpi from the default variants of arpack. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40417> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
