I am trying to build openmpi so that mpicc does not require me to set up the compiler's environment, and so that any executables built with mpicc can run without my having to point LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the openmpi lib directory. I made some unsuccessful attempts to accomplish this (which I describe below), but after building openmpi using the Intel compiler, I found the following:
1) When typing "<path-to-mpicc>/mpicc -showme" I get: <path-to-mpicc>/mpicc: error while loading shared libraries: libsvml.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the Intel compiler libraries, and now "-showme" works, and returns: icc -I/usr/local/openmpi-1.1.2-intel/include -I/usr/local/openmpi-1.1.2-intel/include/openmpi -pthread -L/usr/local/openmpi-1.1.2-intel/lib -L/usr/ofed/lib -L/usr/ofed/lib64 -lmpi -lorte -lopal -libverbs -lrt -lpbs -lnsl -lutil However... 2) When typing "<path-to-mpicc>/mpicc hello.c" I now get: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- The Open MPI wrapper compiler was unable to find the specified compiler icc in your PATH. Note that this compiler was either specified at configure time or in one of several possible environment variables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Of course, this is due to the fact that -showme indicates that mpicc invokes "icc" instead of "<path-to-icc>/icc". If I now set up the PATH to the Intel compiler, it works. However... 3) When I try to run the executable thus created, I get: ./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libmpi.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I now need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the openmpi lib directory. ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- To avoid problems (1) and (2), I built openmpi with: export CC=/opt/intel/cce/latest/bin/icc export CXX=/opt/intel/cce/latest/bin/icpc export F77=/opt/intel/fce/latest/bin/ifort export FC=/opt/intel/fce/latest/bin/ifort export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/opt/intel/cce/latest/lib,-rpath,/opt/intel/fce/late st/lib" But while this satisfied the configure script and all its tests, it did not produce the results I hoped for. To avoid problem (3), I added the following option to configure: --with-wrapper-ldflags=-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/openmpi-1.1.2-intel/lib I was hoping "-showme" would add this to its parameters, but no such luck. Looking at the build output, it seems that the --with-wrapper-ldflags parameter seems to be parsed differently from how LDFLAGS gets parsed, and I get a compilation line: /opt/intel/cce/latest/bin/icc -O3 -DNDEBUG -fno-strict-aliasing -pthread -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/intel/cce/latest/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/intel/fce/latest/lib -o .libs/opal_wrapper opal_wrapper.o ../../../opal/.libs/libopal.so -lnsl -lutil -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/openmpi-1.1.2-intel/lib Notice that the rpath preceding the openmpi lib directory is specified as "--rpath", which is probably why it is ignored. Is this perhaps a bug? Can you help me accomplish any or all of these goals? Thanks.
