Gabriele, You should switch the the upcoming v1.3 release as soon as you can, via either the v1.3rc2 tarball or one of the v1.3rc3 nightly tarballs, available here: http://www.open-mpi.org/nightly/ We are very close to v1.3, so not much should be different between those versions and the final v1.3.
To see why you should switch, read the FAQ entries about Memchecker that start here: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=debugging#memchecker_what On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 9:34 AM, Gabriele Fatigati <g.fatig...@cineca.it> wrote: > PS: i'm using openmpi 1.2.5.. > > 2008/12/15 Gabriele Fatigati <g.fatig...@cineca.it>: >> Hi Jeff, >> i recompiled libibverbs and libmthca with valgrind flas, but for >> strage reasons, only warning over MPI_Send are disappears, but >> warnings over MPI_Recv remains! >> >> 2008/12/15 Jeff Squyres <jsquy...@cisco.com>: >>> Whoops; that was a reply to the wrong message. :-) >>> >>> You'll need to recompile both libiverbs and libmthca with the valgrind flag, >>> and use the enhanced memchecker support in v1.3. >>> >>> I have not personally verified that all the warnings disappear in this >>> configuration (I was hoping to verify this somewhere during the v1.3 >>> series). >>> >>> >>> >>>> >>>> On Dec 15, 2008, at 6:37 AM, Gabriele Fatigati wrote: >>>> >>>>> Hi Jeff, >>>>> i recompiled libmthca with --with-valgrind flag, and modified >>>>> enviroment variables, but warnings doesnt' disappears.. >>>>> >>>>> 2008/12/14 Jeff Squyres <jsquy...@cisco.com>: >>>>>> >>>>>> On Dec 14, 2008, at 8:21 AM, Gabriele Fatigati wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>>> i have a strage problems with OpenMPI 1.2.5 Intel Compiled when i >>>>>>> debug my code under Valgrind 3.3.
