Hello,
I am trying to configure my Wien2k calculations in parallel. Although the
calculations are running smoothly in serial mode, however upon trying to do
configure WIEN2k for parallel process Wien2k is unable to locate the
parallel FFTW-mpi libraries.

"(base) prad at Pradpc:/opt/fftw-3.3.10/lib$ ls
cmake        libfftw3_mpi.a   libfftw3_omp.la      pkgconfig
libfftw3.a   libfftw3_mpi.la  libfftw3_threads.a
libfftw3.la  libfftw3_omp.a   libfftw3_threads.la
although all the libraries are in the /opt/fftw-3.3.10/lib directory."

Even then WIEN2k is detecting only certain libraries and specifically not
the mpi libraries.

"Do you want to automatically search for FFTW installations? (Y,n):
Y
 Please specify a comma separated list of directories to search! (If no
list is entered,
 /usr/lib64, /usr/local and /opt will be searched as default):
/opt
 Finding the required fftw3 library-files in /opt ....

/opt/fftw-3.3.10/lib/libfftw3_omp.a
/opt/fftw-3.3.10/lib/libfftw3.a
/opt/fftw-3.3.10/lib/libfftw3_threads.a
/opt/fftw-3.3.10/lib/libfftw3.so

 Your present FFTW choice is: FFTW3

 Present FFTW root directory is: /opt/fftw-3.3.10-mpi/lib/
 Do you want to use a FFTW version from the list above? (Y,n):

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated,
Regards
Pradeep Sharma
