[Users] compiling with openmpi instead of mpich

[Hamilton, Maria]

Ronald,

Thank you, this is helpful! 
I am attaching the configuration file to this email, will you please take a look to see if I am activating the right variables?
Also, shall I comment out CPPFLAGS=-DMPICH_IGNORE_CXX_SEEK or not.

Oh, sorry, I meant to give you the MPI directory, not the HDF5 one. 
And please excuse my ignorance in matters of openmp and openmpi. 

:)
Maria

Hello Maria,

The commented out OpenMP flags (not that the is OpenMP and not OpenMPI,
the two are completely different) will lead Cactus to not use OpenMP
which will mean that you will always have to run with --num-threads=1
or have cores sit idle.

I would remove the comment characters (ie make the variables active
again).

Yours,
Roland
