Description Thomas Bigot 2013-10-11 17:45:46 CEST 
Description of problem:
Boost provides a component named MPI which allows to use MPI in C++ applications. This component is NOT header-only, hence there should be a libboost_mpi.so somewhere in a lib64boost_mpi package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.54.0-6.mga4


urpmi lib64boost_mpi
No package named lib64boost_mpi

urpmf libboost_mpi.so
-> nothing

Reproducible:

Looking at the spec., boost is packaged to explictly exclude mpi. I have no idea why, but that seems to have been the case since pre-Mageia days before the package was originally imported.

CC: (none) => anssi.hannula, zen25000

Hi,

Are these things suppose to change ? Boost without MPI is a real problem since it prevents to run / compile any program relying on it.

Thanks in advance!

Please test boost-1.55.0 in Cauldron which is now built with mpi support via openmpi.

Thanks.

Sorry, I havenât been able to test it so far.
It seems to work perfectly!

Thanks!
