installing openmpi on Mac OS 14

[steinrf]

I downloaded mac ports
The command

sudo port install openmpi
Error: Port openmpi not found

The port routine exists in /opt/local/bin

whereis port
port: /opt/local/bin/port

What do I need to do to make it find openmpi?

Are you able to install any ports? Does sudo port selfupdate complete successfully?

sudo port -v selfupdate

Remember to use WikiFormatting.

Ok, so you couldn't sync because you couldn't reach our rsync server. Has it ever worked? Are you on a corporate network where they restrict what ports you can use, or do you have network monitoring, antivirus, or firewall software installed that might be blocking ports? If you can unblock the rsync port, perhaps with the assistance of your network administrator if you have one, do that.

If you can't unblock rsync traffic, then you'll need to configure MacPorts to sync using a method that is not rsync, for example git or a daily tarball. See "Alternatives for syncing the ports tree without rsync" in wiki:howto.

Problem was using my vpn. With that off does rsync and is working now.

Great, I'm glad you got it working.

There are other rsync servers besides the primary one that you could try; maybe one of the others works with your vpn. See wiki:Mirrors.
