MPICH gfortran transition and mpif90

Greetings,

I just uploaded mpich 1.2.7-6 which builds with gfortran thanks to the work of Kumar Appaiah. See bug 195509 for details.

This results in an interface change due to the gfortran transition, and a lib name change, so if you have packages linked to it, you will need to rebuild against it. Also, the lib package name change means that it will need to go through the NEW queue, so feel free to grab the package from there and/or http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/mpich/ .

At the same time, the gfortran transition makes it possible to build and include Fortran 90 libraries and the mpif90 compiler wrapper. If you have any occasion to use these, please do -- test and probe for any bugs! Please note that you may need to use gfortran as the linker instead of gcc.

I am very glad to have this years-old issue finally resolved, so that mpich can make the gfortran transition and we have a standard Fortran 90 MPI 1 implementation.

Regards,
-Adam
