Thanks a lot! The problem is, that openmpi package moved the *.h files out of /usr/include to /usr/lib and created a link from /usr/include/openmpi. However, that link doesn't always work. And if the link doesn't work, it's a FHS violation - *.h files should be in /usr/include/... not in /usr/lib. I reported this against the openmpi package here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457088 But I was not accepted friendly. Unfortunately, I just checked on my computer, and /usr/include/openmpi doesn't work, so I will have to report it again. Part of the problem is probably in the broken update-alternatives package (that sometimes fails to update the link), but nevertheless it's the openmpi package, that doens't work. So I think I should report it against the openmpi package, right? Ondrej -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
