Thanks for your reply. Sorry I didn't make it clear..... When I run
config.guess of gcc, it gives me the x86_64 system. But when I run "uname
-a", it says it's i386. I think that's the reason OMPI complains about "more
than one -arch option (not allowed, use cc(1) instead)".
The new gcc can create executibals. I use it to compile my own c++ programs.
And I don't need special flags. I need a higher version of gcc than the
default one just because I cannot build a package (QE:Quantum Espresso) with
the default gcc -- QE uses OMPI. I can install OMPI with the default gcc.
I tried this:
1. install OMPI with default gcc and OMPI works fine.
2. install the new gcc and install the QE package, successfully.
3. mpirun stops working with eorror" cannot initialize"
