I would use the environment variables ($MPI_LIB and $MPI_INCLUDE) after module load mpi but the definitions should be good enough. About what is "serial mode", you should refactor MUMPS.spec to also make a build with openmpi disabled. Should do two builds in MUMPS.spec, and install the build that does not need "module load mpi" to work installed in %{_libdir}, and the one that needs, installed in $MPI_LIB > - ---- > Antonio Trande Paulo -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
