I always build MPICH from git by hand. MacPorts broke my toolchain such that I could not compile MPICH or MPI-free Fortran applications. I believe GCC and/or binutils stuff was improperly told to generate/work with 32bit objects. Replacing MacPorts with Homebrew solved my problems. I suppose I could have reinstalled MacPorts (since it worked fine for me for over a year before self-destructing) but an expert advised me to switch.

He's building with icc/ifort, so it's not being done via MacPorts. I don't think he even needs MP or Homebrew installed to build MPICH, just Intel's tools (and Xcode).

Building with 'make V=1' (or configuring with --disable-silent-rules) will provide more insight into what is going on. If you do have MP or Homebrew installed, you can rule out most interaction by removing their locations (/opt/local/bin, or /usr/local/bin, respectively) from PATH.

Jeff, I'm sorry to year you were unhappy with the (MP) tools. FWIW, it's been reworked to have a standardized MPICH version (with GCC's Fortan and the system's default C compiler) that is installed for use by any (macports-built) package that needs it.

Thanks,

Might be the MacPorts garbage that bit me a while back too. If GCC fails, I suggest wiping MacPorts and installing Homebrew and the associated toolchain.
