Hey all,

I am using PGI 18.5 to compile CMAQv5.3, somehow it fails to build the following files, detailed configuration file, build script, and log file are attached. Does anyone know how can I fixed those issues?

It looks like all these files are related to

```auto
se_pe_info_ext.o

```

but I do have that file built ready

```auto
[jhuang@SOL BLD_CCTM_v532_pgi18.5]$ ls se_pe*
se_pe_info_ext.f se_pe_info_ext.mod se_pe_info_ext.o

```

```auto
[jhuang@SOL scripts]$ grep fail *
grep: BLD_CCTM_v532_pgi18.5: Is a directory

You need to be using _mpif90_ instead of _pgif90_; you may need to build _mpif90_ for yourself or not, depending upon your host-computer’s setup):

_mpif90_ (and similarly for _mpicc_ and _mpiCC_) is a “wrapper” script around a normal compiler; this wrapper “knows” where to find the relevant MPI include-files and libraries, so that you don’t need to worry about them yourself.

If someone didn’t already install it for you, then the usual process is this:

- Decide on an MPI implementation (OpenMPI, MPICH, MVAPICH, …) and download its build-system.

- Decide on a native set of “normal” Fortran, C, and C++ compilers and tell the MPI build-system to use them.

- Invoke the MPI build-system: it will create a sub-directory structure with all the needed MPI include-files, library-files, module-files, and MPI-compilers _mpif90_, _mpicc_, etc.

- Use the resulting _mpif90_ to build your model.
