Hello,

I have been trying to compile spooles with the mpi version with no success (MT version compiles easily). I get the “MPI.h not found” error. I believe the reason is that my make file isn’t configured properly. Has anyone tried it? Any suggestion?

Any help is really appreciated.

Hey @manny9808 try this website out- I recall few scripts there:

I don’t believe there is any may to use MPI version of Spooles with Calculix. Plus it’s so slow.
