[Coin-bcpdiscuss] Installing Parallel BCP

[Laszlo Ladanyi]

Hi Ali,

For some strange reason no math header is found... I'd suggest *NOT* to use 
mpicc / mpicxx for compilation. Instead, find out the flags needed to compile 
and link MPI based applications and the "do it yourself"

If mpicc is the wrapper for your C compiler then execute:
     mpicc -compile-info
and
     mpicc -link-info

That should give you the path to the headers (to be used with the 
--with-mpi-incdir argument to configure) and what libraries are needed for 
linking (stick those pieces into --with-mpi-lib). There may (or may not) be a 
couple of defines; if there are any then specify them as ADD_CXXFLAGS=... when 
configuring. Once you have this info just do the configuration, do NOT specify 
MPICC and MPICC, specify your regular compiler as the compiler and you should 
be OK.

BTW, icc is the intel compiler if I remember correctly. Try to poke around in 
the dir where it has been installed to see if you can find cmath, nath.h or 
something.

Good luck,
--Laci
