While trying to install open mpi on my Ubuntu 12.04, I am getting error unable to locate package libopenmpi-dev. What to do?
$ sudo apt-get install libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin openmpi-doc
unable to locate package libopenmpi-dev
unable to locate package openmpi-bin
unable to locate package openmpi-doc
Try to run apt-get update before you install the openmpi package.
Also you can use the following command to search all openmpi related package, for example:
apt-cache search openmpi
If it still doesn't work, try to use a different mirror, below is GUI and easier:
sudo software-properties-gtk
Update:
@Govind
The package is definitely in the official repository (12.04): http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libopenmpi-dev
As mentioned earlier, please run apt-get update and then apt-cache search for the libopenmpi packages.
If it still doesn't help. Try to change your mirror. Or paste the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list
