PTP Parallel tools on os x 10.7 lion open mpi install [message #822416]

where do i change the path to mpicc in eclipse?

fyi - lion doesn't come with mpi like previous os x operating systems it must be installed. i used the following, very helpful how to: sites.google.com/site/dwhipp/tutorials/installing-open-mpi-on-mac-os-x.

i upgraded from snow leopard to lion, and my mpi projects can no longer build because it's looking for mpicc in /bin/sh, i have it installed in /usr/local/bin, i'm not very familiar with shells and build paths, etc. should i really have installed it to /bin/sh? or make a symbolic link /bin/sh to /usr/local/bin???

thanks,
john

John,

Sorry, the weekend can get a little dead in this forum. You might have
to be patient until Monday. You're asking for a synthesis of more than
mere Eclipse technology, but mixing Mac OS and this MPI stuff too.

There are quite a few hard-core Mac guys that will show up soon.

Thanks Russell. I guess I was really trying to make sure I was posting in the correct forum topic for this. Probably should have stated that instead of sounding impatient.

solved. I think . . . I created a symbolic link in /usr/bin (ln -s /usr/local/bin/mpic++ /usr/bin/mpic++) and now eclipse builds my project successfully. I installed mpi to /usr/local/bin according to the site I listed in my first post.

I'm still new to unix, should I really have installed mpi and the compilers to /usr/bin in the first place?

you also need a symbolic link for ompi_info in order to create and run a resource manager.
