hdf5-18: Variant openmpi conflicts with gcc45
| Reported by: | massonseb | Owned by: | mamoll (Mark Moll) |

Description
I have hdf5-18 installed with the variants gcc45 and openmpi:
bash-3.2$ port installed hdf5-18 The following ports are currently installed: hdf5-18 @1.8.9_0+gcc45+openmpi (active)
since version 1.8.9.1, hdf5-18 the compatibility with previous version is lost and it doesn't accept anymore gcc45+openmpi variants. I cannot upgrade this package and the related packages.
Error: hdf5-18: Variant openmpi conflicts with gcc45
However, I need gcc45+openmpi for netcdf and wgrib2 that depends on hdf5-18.
How should I proceed?

If you were using mpich2, I would say use 'port install mpich2 +gcc45' and then 'port install hdf5-18 +mpich2'; hdf5-18 now uses the selected mpi's wrappers, which, at least in mpich2's case, means that gcc45's CC, CXX, and fortran compilers will be used for compiling hdf5-18.
The openmpi port currently uses only the fortran compiler from the requested +gccNN variant. If you would like that behavior to change, please file a separate ticket. For these scientific packages, in my opinion, if the user is requesting a particular +gccNN variant, they are probably expecting/desiring that compiler's CC,CXX, and F90 to be used for everything (not just fortran), but that's just my point of view...
Installing 'openmpi +gcc45' and then 'hdf5-18 +openmpi' will likely still work, but I haven't tried it myself.

Replying to ryandesign@…:
Install hdf5-18 without the +gcc45 variant. This change was intentional.
yes but i need netcdf+gcc45+openmpi and netcdf uses hdf5-18 and automatically compiles it with gcc45+openmpi. idem for wgrib2

People told me that openmpi was more popular that mpich2. So I use openmpi. I could try to switch to mpich2...

I agree with your point. I will put another ticket.

Depends who you ask. ;) (I am the mpich2[-devel] port maintainer.) I also work on a cluster running mvapich2 (which is based on mpich2) so I use mpich2 as it is "more related."

It seems to work with the variants:
hdf5-18 +fortran +openmpi
