Looking for mpic++

Question

I am following these instructions trying to build Boost MPI .lib files, but I encountered one problem: I do not have mpic++.

Looking at the MPI implementation files such as MPICH and Open MPI, I see no mpic++ included at all.

Where can I find mpic++?

MPICH2 uses "mpicxx" as its C++ compiler wrapper name.

What is your distribution or OS?

My Debian / Ubuntu systems have it as a softlink to mpic++.openmpi (which comes from the libopenmpi-dev package). So I use Open MPI; the MPICH2 packages provide the same softlink.

Well then you will have to check your OpenMPI or MPICh2 installation as to whether (and if so, where) it provides an `mpic++` binary. – Dirk Eddelbuettel May 24 '10 at 14:41
