#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.
