I've configured the ompi trunk (nightly tarball 1.7a1r25927) on an SGI Altix. I used no special arguments indicating that this is an Altix, and there does not appear to be an altix-specific file in contrib/platform.
My build fails as follows: make: Entering directory > `/mnt/home/c_phargrov/OMPI/openmpi-trunk-linux-ia64/BLD/opal/tools/wrappers' > CC opal_wrapper.o > CCLD opal_wrapper > ../../../opal/.libs/libopen-pal.so: undefined reference to > `opal_timer_altix_mmdev_timer_addr' > ../../../opal/.libs/libopen-pal.so: undefined reference to > `opal_timer_altix_freq' > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status The configure-generated opal_config.h contains #define MCA_timer_IMPLEMENTATION_HEADER "opal/mca/timer/altix/timer_altix.h" Nothing appears to have been built in BUILDDIR/opal/mca/timer/altix. However, BUILDDIR/opal/mca/timer/linux has been built. -Paul -- Paul H.
