Hi Dean
Had to ponder this for awhile. I'm not entirely sure of the source of the
problem, but one suspicion has to do with the name of the module. Open MPI
ships with a module named "rsh" in the PLS framework. The MCA uses the
module name in its loading process.
If you insert another module with the identical "rsh" name, then the MCA is
likely to have a problem. Your output indicates that the PLS module has a
NULL function pointer somewhere. My suspicion is that the MCA is seeing two
modules with identical names and getting confused.
Recompiling the existing rsh module and "dropping" that into the precompiled
Open MPI distribution will definitely create that conflict!
Note that you will always get through open and init - the problem is that
select is getting confused by the conflicting names and returning a NULL set
of function pointers.
Try renaming your "drop-in" module something else - maybe "dean_rsh". You
need to do that in the component structure - here is the rsh one from
orte/mca/pls/rsh/pls_rsh_component.c:
/*
* Instantiate the public struct with all of our public information
* and pointers to our public functions in it
*/
orte_pls_rsh_component_t mca_pls_rsh_component = {
{
/* First, the mca_component_t struct containing meta information
about the component itself */
{
/* Indicate that we are a pls v1.3.0 component (which also
implies a specific MCA version) */
ORTE_PLS_BASE_VERSION_1_3_0,
/* Component name and version */
"rsh", /***THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR MODULE'S NAME ***/
ORTE_MAJOR_VERSION,
ORTE_MINOR_VERSION,
ORTE_RELEASE_VERSION,
/* Component open and close functions */
orte_pls_rsh_component_open,
orte_pls_rsh_component_close
},
/* Next the MCA v1.0.0 component meta data */
{
/* The component is checkpoint ready */
MCA_BASE_METADATA_PARAM_CHECKPOINT
},
/* Initialization / querying functions */
orte_pls_rsh_component_init
}
};
Obviously, the names of the component structures and functions would be
unique to your module as well.
Hope that helps.
Ralph
