Description Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-02-26 15:43:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
AFAIK the MPI_SYSCONFIG was set to /etc/mpich-x86_64, now it is set to /etc. As e.g. openmpi sets it to /etc/openmpi-x86_64, I think it is inconsistent and probably bug.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mpich-3.1-4.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install mpich
2. module load mpi/mpich-x86_64
3. echo $MPI_SYSCONFIG

Actual results:
/etc

Expected results:
/etc/mpich-x86_64
(on x86_64)

Additional info:
Also the module file seems to be installed twice to different path:
/etc/modulefiles/mpi/mpich-x86_64
/etc/modulefiles/mpich-x86_64

which also seems suspicious to me.
Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2015-02-27 19:12:56 UTC 
Duplicate module files was reported a long time ago as bug 921534.

I'm not entirely sure of the uses of MPI_SYSCONFIG outside of the mpi providers themselves.
Comment 2 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2015-05-09 17:03:32 UTC 
I don't think MPI_SYSCONFIG is used anywhere, so we might just as well change it for consistency with openmpi. Patch to do that pushed to rawhide, F22 will follow later.
Comment 3 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2015-08-19 15:45:01 UTC 
I forgot to update this for F22. I don't think it makes sense to update it now.
