Recompile with debugging:
make clean
CFLAGS=-g ./configure ...
make
make install
and cd to where your server expects to run. Then do:
gdb --args pvfs2-server -d fs.conf server.conf
b BMI_ib_initialize
run
then use "n" to walk through the function and try to find out where
it is failing. I would have expected an error message, but do not
see one above.
Your build and ldd output look okay. Your fs.conf has lines like:
BMIModules bmi_ib
...
Alias myhost1 ib://myhost1:3335
or there would have been different messages, but check anyway.
If you get a bit closer, let us know and we'll figure out the
problem.
