[Boost-users] Cannot build boost with MPI using Intel openMPI wrapper

[Cook, Rich]

Hello, I'm seeing this in my build output.   I'm hoping someone can help me find out what the actual problem is.  Thanks for any assistance.  

===============MPI Auto-configuration===============

MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler /usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/bin/mpiCC

Please report this error to the Boost mailing list: http://www.boost.org

You will need to manually configure MPI support.

MPI launcher: mpirun -np

====================================================

Here are the commands that generated it: 

+ mkdir -p //usr/local/tools/boost-intel-1.57.0

+ mkdir -p //usr/local/bin

+ pushd boost_1_57_0

/tmp/dpkg-mkdeb.1Tdcc4kqMi/src/boost_1_57_0 /tmp/dpkg-mkdeb.1Tdcc4kqMi/src

+ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local/tools/boost-intel-1.57.0

+ echo 'using mpi : /usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/bin/mpiCC ;' >> tools/build/src/user-config.jam

+ ./b2 -j20 --debug-configuration install

# ======================================================================

And here is the full output of that last b2 command:

It's a while ago that I was using Boost.MPI. But if auto-detection fails,
you could pass MPI-related options explicitly. There is this remark in the
MPI Jamfile:

# If your MPI implementation does not have a wrapper compiler, or the MPI
# auto-detection code does not work with your MPI's wrapper compiler,
# you can pass MPI-related options explicitly via the second parameter to
the
# mpi module:
#
# using mpi : : <find-shared-library>lammpio
<find-shared-library>lammpi++
# <find-shared-library>mpi <find-shared-library>lam
# <find-shared-library>dl ;

HTH,
Boris

What is the result of:
$/usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/bin/mpicxx --showme:compile
$/usr/local/tools/openmpi-intel-debug-1.8.4/bin/mpicxx --showme:link
