Some errors about Mrbayes-3.2.2 parallel version (MPICH2) install on Ubuntu PC

Question

[Ginsea Chen]

Hello everyone

Now I tried to install Mrbayes-3.2.2 parallel version on Ubuntu PC, the corresponding MPI software is MPICH2 1.5.

There were errors displayed on terminal after make, the errors as follows:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpich
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopa
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: ***[mb] Error 1

I can't find any suggestion to solve it on internet, if you have some advice, please tell me.

Thanks!

You need to install libmpich2-dev as well, otherwise you don't get the headers and libraries. If that doesn't solve the problem, ensure that libmpl.so, libmpich.so and libopa.so are under /usr/lib (they should be).

I reinstalled mpich2 and these errors were solved, so I think some packages may lose in my PC. Thank you again!

This error will happen if you have both mpich2 and openmpi installed. It looks like it's using the openmpi headers but trying to link to the mpich2 library, which won't work. Try changing the -lmpich -lmpl to -lmpi.
