py27-netcdf4: 'mpi.h' file not found

[freezingmariner@…]

The installation of py27-netcdf4 crashes due to an mpi issue. I have openmpi installed for all the dependent packages. i.e.:

:debug:main openmpi 1.6.3_0 +gcc47+threads is active
:debug:main netcdf 4.2.1.1_0 +dap+hdf4+netcdf4+openmpi is active
:debug:main hdf5-18 1.8.9_2 +cxx+fortran+openmpi+szip+threadsafe is active

The installation gives the following error:

:info:build clang: netCDF4.c
:info:build In file included from netCDF4.c:274:
:info:build /opt/local/include/H5public.h:61:13: fatal error: 'mpi.h' file not found
:info:build #   include <mpi.h>

There's no crash; the build merely fails.

I see something similar in my attempts to compile code using OpenMPI. The codebase assumes that all relevant headers are in /opt/local/include. Instead, they're in /opt/local/include/openmpi (bad enough), or one of its many subdirectories. Why are they distributed like this?

Is this still an issue? Looks like this ticket was never correctly assigned.

To the reporter: please CC the maintainers of the port in future and only ​valid keywords.

This was fixed by the introduction of the mpi portgroup; closing as fixed.
