[gentoo-science] MPICH depends on X11?

[gentoo-science] MPICH depends on X11?

[Glenn Johnson]

I am trying to upgrade mpich to version 1.2.7_p1 and it wants to
install xorg and friends. I do not want X11 and have never had it
installed in the past. Does mpich really need xorg? If not, then how
can I tell portage about it?

Thanks.

I have stooped using mpich and started use lam-mpi take a look at that ?

I have never tried mpich without X so I cannot say much more.

Is there a way to use lam-mpi for a program (closed source) compiled
against mpich? If that is possible then that would be an option. I
have never had to have X installed for mpich before. It looks like
something that went into the most recent two e-builds.

I don't think you can run an mpich compiled executable with lam. I think 
one possible way would be to create your own ebuild file (copy of the 
mpich ebuild) and change the dependencies there.

from usr/portage/sys-cluster/mpich/ChangeLog


  07 Nov 2005; Donnie Berkholz <spyderous@gentoo.org>;
  +mpich-1.2.6-r4.ebuild:
  (#103218) Overrule mpich's broken build system to get datadir set to
  /usr/share/mpich. Also, add dependency on libX11 or virtual/x11 for
  cxgraphics and cpi_anim. I'm open to patches to stop building them and
  prevent the X dependency. In addition, change 'make' to 'emake' to allow
  parallel builds.

That's ironic, because the lam-mpi team has stopped developing lam-mpi
and now works on openmpi [1], along with a number of other groups. =)

As far as moving into the future for MPI in Gentoo goes, there's an
mpich2 ebuild in progress, and we'll probably start working on an
openmpi ebuild once they have a 1.0 release.

Thanks,
Donnie

There are some other miscellaneous lam-mpi / mpich 
dependencies/conflicts/gotchas in Portage; you probably won't see them 
unless you're using ~x86 and trying to load the R packages that use 
them. When I get some free time I'll document everything in Bugzilla.

Meanwhile, speaking of R, they are at R-2.2.0 and counting -- 2.3 should 
be out in the spring. Portage appears to be stuck at R-2.1.1. Is there 
any reason there hasn't been an R version bump?

I didn't realize we were speaking of R. =)

Take a look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108620 as well as 
the numerous other R bugs open. Probably the reason is developers' time, 
or lack thereof.

Thanks,
Donnie
