Jeff - seems like a configure/build issue to me. Shouldn't we disable numa support and not try to build it if the supporting libraries don't exist?
Not sure what you mean -- the supporting library *does* exist...? (just not in the mode that you want)
It's LANL's strange fascination with static builds that causes the problem. ;-)
Seriously, I can see your point, but I don't see an obvious fix -- we don't check for the mode of the target library. We just check that "$CC testprogram.c -L/path/to/libnuma -lnuma" works properly (actually, this is how *all* checks are done in OMPI -- libnuma is somewhat of an anomaly because most other packages/linux distros [depending on the packaging] provide either just the .a or both the .a and the .so).
