I've configured the 1.8.2rc3 tarball with "--enable-static --disable-shared" on a fairly standard Linux/x86-64 platform. While there are no problems on the same platform w/o these configure flags, with them I cannot link any application codes.
$ mpicc -g hello_c.c -o hello_c /global/homes/h/hargrove/GSCRATCH/OMPI/openmpi-1.8.2rc3-linux-x86_64-static/INST/lib/libopen-pal.a(opal_pty.o): In function `opal_openpty': opal_pty.c:(.text+0x1): undefined reference to `openpty' I checked "make openpty" and the manpage says to link with '-lutil'. The '-showme' does not show libutil: $ mpicc -showme hello_c.c gcc hello_c.c -I/global/homes/h/hargrove/GSCRATCH/OMPI/openmpi-1.8.2rc3-linux-x86_64-static/INST/include -pthread -L/usr/syscom/opt/torque/4.1.4/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/syscom/opt/torque/4.1.4/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/syscom/opt/torque/4.1.4/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/syscom/opt/torque/4.1.4/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/syscom/opt/torque/4.1.4/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/global/homes/h/hargrove/GSCRATCH/OMPI/openmpi-1.8.2rc3-linux-x86_64-static/INST/lib -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -L/global/homes/h/hargrove/GSCRATCH/OMPI/openmpi-1.8.2rc3-linux-x86_64-static/INST/lib -lmpi -lopen-rte -lopen-pal -lm -ldl -ltorque -libverbs -lrdmacm It looks like configure is doing the right thing on some level, but failing to add '-lutil' to the appropriate list of libs (OPAL_WRAPPER_EXTRA_LIBS?): ============================================================================ == Library and Function tests ============================================================================ checking if we need -lutil for openpty... yes checking for openpty... yes -Paul -- Paul H.
