Nobody has yet told me to shutup about that one, so I mention it here for
completeness.
Having looked only briefly at the failure, I see that it is in ROMIO's
equivalent of opal_path_nfs().
So, there could be logic in opal/util/path.c to fix ROMIO for OpenBSD.
Of course, that is assuming no errors then pop up later in the build.
Oops -- Brad was supposed to put that in README, too.
Nope, I looked:
$ grep -i -e romio -e bsd openmpi-1.4.5rc4/README
- Updated ROMIO to the version from MPICH2 1.0.7
We're not excited about making changes to such an old version of ROMIO.
1.5.x is about to transition to v1.6, meaning that it will replace the 1.4 series. So we
want to have a "near perfect" 1.4.5 release, but that doesn't necessarily mean
making a heroic effort to update/fix some old software packages when a newer, stable
version (that hopefully fixes the problem!) is around the corner.
OK, "shutup" order confirmed regarding OpenBSD/ROMIO for v1.4.
However, I am 95% certain 1.5.5rc1 had the same problem (I will recheck
shortly).
