I've tried a small test using the parallel for openmp pragma. The test
compiles but the performance looks similar to a serial version. Also, the
compiler complains when I use omp_set_num_threads and omp_get_num_threads.

Is there a flag I need to use when compiling?

  I tried -fopenmp, but it results in the following error when I run the
binary:

error while loading shared libraries: libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

I've looked on the web for libgomp, but it looks like this library has
been dropped (the gomp webpage shows that gomp has been merged into the
mainline gcc), and I can't really find a copy of it.

There is a configure option --disable-libgomp.  If that was set, you 
should see it by gcc -v. Not even all tested gcc targets are capable of 
building with libgomp. Otherwise, libgomp should be present:
[tim@tim_pd64 lib64]$ ls
libgcc_s.so           libgomp.so.1.0.0       libssp.la
libgcc_s.so.1         libgomp.spec           libssp_nonshared.a
libgfortran.a         libmudflap.a           libssp_nonshared.la
libgfortranbegin.a    libmudflap.la          libssp.so
libgfortranbegin.la   libmudflap.so          libssp.so.0
libgfortran.la        libmudflap.so.0        libssp.so.0.0.0
libgfortran.so        libmudflap.so.0.0.0    libstdc++.a
libgfortran.so.1      libmudflapth.a         libstdc++.la
libgfortran.so.1.0.0  libmudflapth.la        libstdc++.so
libgomp.a             libmudflapth.so        libstdc++.so.6
libgomp.la            libmudflapth.so.0      libstdc++.so.6.0.9
libgomp.so            libmudflapth.so.0.0.0  libsupc++.a
libgomp.so.1          libssp.a               libsupc++.la

Yes, there are lots of libraries in a fairly minimal build.

Maybe I don't understand your question.  Inclusion of OpenMP in gcc-4.1 
isn't going to affect gcc-4.0.  Unless someone has tested gcc 4.1 on 
tru64, that part of the question seems moot.
On linux (32 bit?), reading the gcc build instructions should give you 
some clue about library updates which may be required on top of a 
reasonably current distro with gcc development components installed. 
For example, gmp with mpfr enabled would be needed for a full 
installation of gcc-4.1.  That might be there already if your distro 
includes gcc-4.0.

openmp support

[Thomas Yeh]

Hi All,

  According to the gcc news, gcc 4.X seems to support openMP. Can anyone
point me to the libraries I need for both tru64 linux and x86 linux?

thx,
Tom
