Re: Compiling Octave: HDF5 and openmpi

[John Hayes]

Hi Niels,

I think you probably want to play with the ‘configure’ options (check 
‘./configure --help’). In particular, I think you may want to pass the absolute 
path to mpi.h as the argument to --includedir and re-‘make’. Once the compiler 
starts linking though, you’ll probably also have to pass it the directory for 
the mpi libraries themselves, which will be specified with --libdir. 

HTH, best regards,

John
