mpich-devel-default error: Could not determine a way to link a Fortran test program!

[LemingVan]

Hi,

I can't install mpich-devel-default (for MPI-OM) after I uninstalled it several times (because I need to use openmpi to compile MITgcm, in this way I have to uninstall mpich-devel-default to active openmpi again and again).

I have tried sudo port clean mpich-devel-default" & "sudo port uninstall --follow-dependents mpich-devel-default, but the issue stills exists.

The Error information showed below:

% sudo port install mpich-devel-default

I think it is this:

Hi Ken,

I just re-install the gcc10, unfortunately, the issue still exists.

Could you tell me how to fix this issue? It's a bit difficult for me.

[kencu (Ken)]

please show me the results of:

port -v installed | grep ld64

[kencu (Ken)]

FYI, on my 10.15 system this is what I have:

port -v installed | grep ld64
  ld64 @3_3+ld64_xcode (active) platform='darwin 19' archs='x86_64' date='2020-08-18T21:47:33-0700'
  ld64-xcode @2_3 (active) platform='darwin 19' archs='x86_64' date='2020-08-18T21:47:32-0700'

[kencu (Ken)]

It did install for me, btw:

% port -v installed mpich-devel-default
The following ports are currently installed:
  mpich-devel-default @3.4a2_0+gcc10 (active) platform='darwin 19' archs='x86_64' date='2020-09-04T22:46:53-0700'

[LemingVan]

% port -v installed | grep ld64
  ld64 @3_3 (active) platform='darwin 19' archs='x86_64' date='2020-09-05T09:49:19+0800'
  ld64-latest @450.3_0+llvm90 (active) platform='darwin 19' archs='x86_64' date='2020-09-05T09:49:15+0800'

[LemingVan]

I try to install openmpi-devel-default, and I get the same issue too.

[kencu (Ken)]

so the issue here is your version of ld64 is not making the mpich-devel-default port happy. I'm not sure why not, but you will need to do this:

sudo port -f uninstall ld64
sudo port -v install ld64 +ld64_xcode

and then you should see:

 % port -v installed ld64
The following ports are currently installed:
  ld64 @3_3+ld64_xcode (active) platform='darwin 19' archs='x86_64' date='2020-08-18T21:47:33-0700'

and once you see that, you should be in business again.

[LemingVan]

Hi Ken,

You are right! The problem is solved, thank you very much.

[kencu (Ken)]

ld64-xcode is the default for 10.15, so we'll close this as works for me.
