Hi Ghobad, The error message means the OpenMPI wants to use cl.exe - the compiler from Microsoft Visual Studio.
Here http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.5/ms-windows.php is it stated: This is the first binary release for Windows, with basic MPI libraries and executables. The supported platforms are Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003/2008, and Windows 7 (including both 32 and 64 bit versions). The installers were configured with CMake 2.8.1 and compiled under Visual Studio 2010, and they support for C/C++ compilers of Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010. So, to compile MPI programs you probably need one of this compilers to be installed. Best regards. - Dima. 2012/5/10 Ghobad Zarrinchian <gzarrin....@gmail.com>: > Hi all. I'm a new open-mpi user.
