[DFTB-Plus-User] MPI Version crashes

Dear Bálint,

sorry for my late reply, I've been to a conference.
Setting aside the NAG compiler (to which we've access just on one of our 
machines) for the time being, I tried to use the gcc 4.9 (release 
20130922) compiler.

Unfortunately, I get this error message during compilation:

Cannot read module file 'mpi.mod' opened at (1), because it was created 
by a different version of GNU Fortran

I think that this has to do with the version of OpenMPI I am using: did 
you re-compile also OpenMPI from scratch with the 4.9 compiler?

Thanks

Silvio
