Hi Erik,
thanks for the explanation. There is still an issue with machines (I have in mind supermuc) with no standard MPI directory installations. I recall a conversation with Ian where he convinced me that MPI_INC_DIRS and MPI_LIB_DIRS should be set independently from MPI_DIR, and MPI_DIR set to NO_BUILD to prevent the thorn from building it. Your suggestion of setting MPI_DIR to /cm/shared/apps/mvapich2/intel-14.0.3/2.0 might work on Loewe, but will probably fail on Supermuc, which has a non-standard MPI installation. In any case, let me see if it does solve for Loewe first.
Thanks, Bruno.
