I suspect that you need to provide a path to the mpi environment and that is all, e.g.

./configure --with-mpi-prefix=/opt/openmpi --enable-64bit-flags

works just fine in my case.  Try adding the correct prefix (note that there are lib, bin directories under /opt/mpi)

I have had serious difficulties in compiling parallel versions of ABINIT

I have similar problems. I would have expected that

   ./configure --enable-mpi

--with-mpi-fc=/usr/lib64/mpi/gcc/openmpi/bin/mpif90 FC=gfortran

would work, but it does not:

checking for a native MPI support... no

checking whether to build parallel code... no

which is not surprising as not the MPI compiler but the normal compiler

is used:

configure:10981: gfortran -o conftest    conftest.F90  >&5

Error: Can't open included file 'mpif.h'

Note: mpif90 is at a bit strange location on openSUSE (see above) to

allow for multiple MPI installations installed at the same time.

At the end I was configuring once for abinis and the rest, and once for

abinip using:

./configure FCFLAGS="-O2 `mpif90 -showme:compile`" --enable-mpi

LDFLAGS="`mpif90 -showme:link`"

(Whether -showme:* works, depends on the MPI library; I'm using OpenMPI

which offers this option.)

By the way, I also don't understand why there is not give YES for:

configure:8697: checking if we are using the GNU Fortran compiler

configure:8720: result: no

As I use:

$ gfortran --version|head -n1

GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.2.1 (SUSE Linux)
