Hello,

I’m currently having some issues installing MPICH on to our RHEL Linux system due to missing dependencies.

 

I want to note that we use Redhat 5.6 and we don’t use YUM so our install is through the use of rpm’s.

 

I initially tried installing the latest version of MPICH “mpich2-1.5-3.fc20.x86_64.rpm” but multiple dependencies where required so I tried going to an earliest version of MPICH available in the downloads “mpich2-1.0.8-3.fc11.x86_64.rpm” but this also was missing multiple dependencies.

 

MPICH was a 3rd party app required for another program that we were requiring so I contacted there support and they suggested we used MPICH 1.4.1 as it worked the best with there program.

 

When I try to run the RPM for 1.4.1 is asks for multiple dependencies and each of those dependencies have dependencies, is there a tar with all the required dependancies for redhat 5.6 or are there any recommendations on how to go about this?

 

 

rpm -ivh mpich2-1.4.1p1-9.fc18.x86_64.rpm
