Unfortunately, we don't have access to a PPC system with MacOS 10.4 to try to
reproduce the error.
Paul, could you please check for the definition of the macro
OPAL_HAVE_WEAK_SYMBOLS in ompi_config.h? I assume that the ancient GNU compiler
on PPC/MacOS10.4 does not support weak-symbols which cause the multiply
definitions.
Furthermore, could you please try to build the following code to test whether
the PMPI interface of Open MPI works in general?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Finalize() {
printf( "inside MPI_Finalize() wrapper\n" );
return PMPI_Finalize();
}
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
MPI_Finalize();
}
Maybe the error occurs only if this code is in a shared library which depends
on the MPI library (as does the libvt-mpi). Therefor, run the following:
$ gcc -fPIC -shared pmpi_test.c -I<mpi-inc-dir> -o libpmpi_test.dylib -L<mpi-
lib-dir> -lmpi
Thanks!
