Hello,
I am setting up a freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04 computer to do some parallel programming and I need the MPI compilers for C and Fortran. Using the provided tar archive in the download page produces a series of errors (a very long list because I tried running make all many times but I can attach it if necessary). Instead, I tried just "sudo apt install libmpich-dev" but again a segmentation fault came up: Get:4 http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/archive.ubuntu.com xenial/universe amd64 mpich amd64 3.2-6build1 [197 kB] Fetched 2 427 kB in 0s (4 238 kB/s) Selecting previously unselected package hwloc-nox.

Errors were encountered while processing: openmpi I suspect that the problem does not originate specifically from Open MPI but so far other packages that I installed have been functioning properly. Could you suggest some solution? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Maria
