-This file contains instructions for the installation a version of HDF5
-that uses the parallel file I/O facilities of the MPI-IO library. A
-parallel version of HDF5 can run in a serial environment as long as
-the appropriate MPI-IO and MPI header files and libraries are
-available.
-
-The parallel version of hdf5 can be build by generally following the
-instructions in the INSTALL file for building a serial version and
-using `mpicc' as the C compiler. This can be done by setting the CC
-environment variable before invoking configure as with:
-
- $ CC=mpicc ./configure
-
-If the mpicc compiler is not available then a parallel library can
-still be built as long as the appropriate header files and libraries
-can be found. If these files are part of the default compiler search
-paths then configuration is as simple as:
-
- $ ./configure --enable-parallel
-
-Otherwise, if the MPI and MPI-IO header files or library cannot be
-found then the compiler search paths can be corrected, the files can
-be moved, or configure can be told about the file locations. The
-latter is done with something like:
-
- $ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/mpi/include \
- LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/mpi/lib/LINUX/ch_p4 \
- ./configure --enable-parallel
