wrong toolchain was selected (used the default, which was fortran) and mpi preferences were set during project creation.

Incorrect toolchain is presumed to be the problem.  need to catch error and inform user. I think there was another problem which was related to wrong toolchain, or no toolchain selected.
I think the previous version of CDT was better at getting the correct toolchain selected, or else the new version of CDT (+?) simple *has* more toolchains so the default selection (first one?) is more likely incorrect.
