SU2 Parallel installation
 

Greetings...
Please forgive me if this is problem has been discussed elsewhere. I am new to SU2 and having problem with installation in parallel version. Following command is used to configure.
sudo ./configure --with-CGNS-lib=/usr/lib64 --with-CGNS-include=/home/razibul/git/SU2/Common/include/CGNS/3.1.3/ --with-Metis-lib=/usr/lib64/ --with-Metis-include=/home/razibul/git/SU2/Common/include/METIS/5.0.2/ --with-MPI=/usr/local/bin/mpicxx

I am getting the following error

I am bit lost at this point as I have working c++ gnu compiler installed and OpenMPI is also functioning.

Thanks in Advance

I had the same issue. The problem was that it could not detect mpicxx on my machine. You should check for that and install if necessary.

Hello. I had the same problem and this thread helped me http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/su2...pi-option.html

On it he insert the mpi compiler as --with-MPI value.
To me it worked inputing mpiicpc. But It strongly depends on how you've installed everything. Cause there's plenty of compilers (mpic++, mpicc, mpiicc, mpiicpc).

I haven't tried to use CGNS or METIS yet but till now this worked for me.
