I agree, though there have been huge progresses with the release of OpenMPI 3.0.

That being said I intend to provide both, but there is a lot of work toward that result. The easiest thing I could do currently is having both stacks (MPI + HDF, NetCDF, etc.) available but mutually exclusive. Would that suit everyone here?

We could still keep this package with a different name, like mpich-opt, for co-installability.

MPICH should be the default MPI provider in Arch, I guess. Many scientific applications poorly run with OpenMPI unlike MPICH.

@melkir The package provides /etc/profile.d/mpich.so to set the path. This is automatically executed by /etc/profile. I strongly discourage linking into /usr because it conflicts with openmpi and because it is not managed by the package manager. It sounds like you're executing your IDE in an environment that misses /etc/profile.

If you need to use mpich in your IDE you need to execute the following lines : su ln -sf /opt/mpich/lib/*.so /usr/lib/ ln -sf /opt/mpich/include/* /usr/include/ ln -sf /opt/mpich/bin/* /usr/local/bin/ If you prefer you can add to your path /opt/mpich/bin instead of linking /opt/mpich/bin to /usr/local/bin. I don't know if there is a better way to do that but maybe something like that should be included in the installation process !

@jadelord mpich.org is currently suffering NFS problems. The latest stable version has not been reverted.

It seems v3.1.4 has been removed. Gives a curl 404 error The latest stable release is v3.0: http://www.mpich.org/static/downloads/3.0/ Here is a working PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/fe6dSL3e

Updated to upstream 3.1.3; sorry for the long delay.

I had problems with getting cmake to recognize the mpich package but this package seems to work with cmake (probably the fixed paths that does it that is mentioned earlier).

@ramwoolf: I have finally replicated your error; I'm looking into it now.
