One thing I neglected to say -- if libfabric/usnic support on master is causing
problems for you, you can configure without libfabric:
./configure --without-libfabric ...
(which will, of course, also disable anything that requires libfabric)
The intent is that we build things by default so that we can get at least smoke
testing of as many features as possible -- especially testing that they don't
interfere with others. But we tend to put in options to shut off such things
if they *do* cause problems. Right now, libfabric is causing a few problems
for you, so you should feel free to disable it until we figure out the
integration problems (and if you could send me the details, I can have a look
at what's going wrong).
I'm sorry; I should have mentioned this earlier, but I assumed you knew about
it / keep forgetting that you're still kinda new to our community and don't
know all the conventions that we typically put in place!
My bad. :-(
