OK, but now I realize that I cannot simply call libtool dlopen() inconditionally, as libmpi.so could not exist in a static lib build. > Also, see my later post: doesn't perl/python have some kind of > portable dlopen anyway? They're opening your module...? AFAIK, Python does not. It uses specific, private code for this, handling the loading of extension modules according to the OS's and their idiosyncracies. However, Python enable users to change the flags used for dlopen'ing your extension modules; the tricky part is to get the correct values RTLD_GLOBAL in a portable way. > > Is there any another way of setting a MCA parameter? > See http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=tuning#setting-mca-params. OK, it seems there isn't a programatic way. Anyway, putenv() should not be a souce of portability problems. Jeff, once you have this parameter enabled, please write me in order I can do some testing. Many tanks for your clarifications and help. -- Lisandro Dalcín --------------- Centro Internacional de Métodos Computacionales en Ingeniería (CIMEC) Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnológico para la Industria Química (INTEC) Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) PTLC - Güemes 3450, (3000) Santa Fe, Argentina Tel/Fax: +54-(0)342-451.1594
