/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/include/mpi.h(35): catastrophic error: #error directive: A wrong version of mpi.h file was included

[Keerti_Bhamidipati]

I am trying to compile a CFD code using the Intel Compiler v 11.1 and Intel MPI 3.2.0.011 on a new cluster. I have previously successfully compiled this code on a RedHat 5 clutser using GCC 4.1.2 and OpenMPI.

I belive I haveI setup the environment properly, but I am getting the error:
/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/include/mpi.h(35): catastrophic error: #error directive: A wrong version of mpi.h file was included. Check include path.

The terminal output from the compile is included at the bottom of this post.

I used CMake to setup the Makefile paths. The paths currently being used are:

CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/opt/intel/11.1/bin/intel64/icpc
CMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/opt/intel/11.1/bin/intel64/icc
CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/opt/intel/11.1/bin/intel64/ifort
EXTRALIB:STRING=-L/opt/intel/11.1/lib/intel64/ -lifcore -limf -lirc
MPIEXEC:FILEPATH=/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/bin64/mpiexec
MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY:STRING=/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/lib64/libmpiic4.so;/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/lib64/libmpiif.so;/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/lib64/libmpigi.a;/usr/lib64/librt.so;/usr/lib64/libpthread.so;/usr/lib64/libdl.so
MPI_INCLUDE_PATH:STRING=/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/include
MPI_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/lib64/libmpi.so
MPI_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/bin64/mpiicpc

Any help/suggestions on what could be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Keerti

I've never used CMAKE before, but as a first suggestion I would try using mpiicc as compiler.Most MPI applications can be easily compiled out-of-the-box with this wrapper to avoid -I/-L issues like yours.

Also, double check that the environment is not mixed with different compilers and MPI implementations. I would recommend sourcing the different environment setup scripts on your ~/.bashrc.

[Keerti_Bhamidipati]

Yup, that fixed it!

I removed the -I/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/include and made sure the compiler used was /opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/bin64/mpiicpc and that error disappeared.

Interestingly, simply changing the compiler to /opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/bin64/mpiicpc did not make the error disappear.

Thank you,

Hi Keerti,

The reason is, you should have included "-I/opt/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/include64" instead. You're using the 64-bit library, but not the 64-bit headers. That's most likely the cause of the error.

I'm glad you have it working either way.

[Keerti_Bhamidipati]

This is correct. Modifying that line, is another way to fix the MPI compile issue.

Thank you,
Keerti
