[Trilinos-Users] Trilinos on Mac OSX Leopard

[Bill Spotz]

Daniele,

My experience is on both PowerPC and Mac Intel, but only for Mac OS X  
10.4, not yet 10.5 (which has not been approved for use here at  
Sandia yet).

I have generally used fortran compilers installed via fink.  When I  
upgraded from PowerPC to Intel, I had a lot more luck with g95 than  
with gfortran.  I have also use the openmpi provided by fink.  Using  
the Leopard-provided openmpi may be problematic if they do not  
support fortran, as you have observed.

I use the configure option

     --with-ldflags="-L/sw/lib -framework veclib"

where the /sw/lib directory is where the fink fortran libraries can  
be found and "-framework veclib" gives access to the vendor-supplied  
BLAS and LAPACK.
