Unable to install TauDEM on ubuntu 22 as I might have issues with MPI installed

[monis4567]

I fail in getting TauDEM installed on ubuntu 22. I am not sure why I cannot make it work.

In a terminal on Ubuntu 22
I git clone the TauDEM repository

git clone https://github.com/dtarb/TauDEM.git

This works fine. Consulting the README provided with 'TauDEM' I check I have the dependencies, by installing them with

sudo apt-get install gdal-bin libgdal-dev gdal-bin libmpich-dev openmpi-bin

Which gives me

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
gdal-bin is already the newest version (3.4.1+dfsg-1build4).
libgdal-dev is already the newest version (3.4.1+dfsg-1build4).
libmpich-dev is already the newest version (4.0-3).
openmpi-bin is already the newest version (4.1.2-2ubuntu1).
openmpi-bin set to manually installed.

I then navigate into the TauDEM directory and make the 'MPICH2.sh' executable with

chmod 755 MPICH2.sh

Perhaps this might not be needed as the previous check informed me that the 'openmpi-bin is already the newest version (4.1.2-2ubuntu1).'
I then executed the MPICH2.sh with

./MPICH2.sh

This runs fine, but exits with these lines

checking whether gfortran allows mismatched arguments... no
configure: error: The Fortran compiler gfortran will not compile files that call
the same routine with arguments of different types.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

I am not sure what this is about. I could not find a solution on the internet for this.
I decided to continue and followed the next instructions in the README file for TauDEM

So I made a directory called 'bin' and navigated into 'src'

 mkdir bin
 cd src

And then tried 'make'

make

This kicks in fine, but exits with an error at the end I do not understand - see the output to screen here below (I had to shorten the output from screen, because of the word limit on issues)

I then tried the second set of instructions in the README file provided with TauDEM

cd ..
cd src && mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..

Which give this error here below (I had to shorten the output from screen, because of the word limit on issues)

Hi,
This is a TauDEM installation issue. I could replicate the error and fix it using the approach described here: dtarb/TauDEM#249

What you need to do is:

mkdir bin
cd src
sed -i -e 's/MPI_Type_struct/MPI_Type_create_struct/g' linklib.h
sed -i -e 's/MPI_Type_extent(MPI_LONG, \&extent)/MPI_Aint lb\;MPI_Type_get_extent(MPI_LONG, \&lb, \&extent)/g' linklib.h
make

I hope this helps.
