Compiler Support
QLogic MPI supports the following compilers:
 GNU gcc 3.3.x, 3.4.x, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2.x, and 4.3.x compiler suites
 PathScale Compiler Suite 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2
 PGI 5.2, 6.0. 7.1, 7.2-4, and 8.0-3
 Intel 9.x, 10.1, and 11.0
 gfortran 4.1.x
PathScale Compiler Suite Version 3.x is now supported on systems that have the
GNU 4.0 and 4.1 compilers and compiler environment (header files and libraries).
Set Up Your Environment
Keep the following in mind when setting up the environment:
 The runtime and build environments must be the same. Compatibility
between executables built on different Linux distributions cannot be
guaranteed.
 You will need Administrator privileges on your machines.
 If you are using the rpm install method, make sure that all previously existing
(stock) OpenFabrics RPMs are uninstalled. See “Uninstall InfiniPath and
OpenFabrics RPMs” on page 5-26 for more information. The Installer tool
will automatically uninstall previous RPMs before upgrades.
 It is possible to have a cluster running with different kernel versions.
However, QLogic recommends and supports clusters where all nodes run
equivalent software.
