I have exactly the same problem as reported by Paul Hutton and David O Gunter (2012-12-06)
tail of configure output checking Fortran 90 kind of MPI_INTEGER_KIND (selected_int_kind(9))... configure: error: Could not determine kind of selected_int_kind(MPI_INTEGER_KIND) selection from config.log configure:53602: gfortran -o conftest conftestf.f90 configure:53609: $? = 0 configure:53649: ./conftest ./conftest: /usr/lib64/libgfortran.so.3: version `GFORTRAN_1.4' not found (required by ./conftest) configure:53656: $? = 1 configure:53665: error: Could not determine kind of selected_int_kind(MPI_INTEGER_KIND) Unfortunately I don't understand how this was resolved. I checked and the /usr/local/gcc-4.7.2/lib64 directory is populated with shared objects (including libgfortran.so.3).. I used the following commands in a script: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gcc-4.7.2/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH=/usr/local/gcc-4.7.2/bin:$PATH ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi-1.6.4 \ --enable-static If it is useful I can attach config.log... Thanks, Alan
