-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello!
I have compiled OpenMPI 1.3 with configure --prefix=$HOME/software The compilation works fine, and I can run normal MPI programs. However, I'm using OpenMPI to run a program that we currently develop (http://www.espresso-pp.de). The software uses Python as a front-end language, which loads the MPI-enabled shared library. When I start python with a script using this parallel lib via mpiexec, I get the following error: > mpiexec -n 4 python examples/hello.py python: symbol lookup error: /people/thnfs/homes/lenzo/software.thop/lib/openmpi/mca_paffinity_linux.so: undefined symbol: mca_base_param_reg_int python: symbol lookup error: /people/thnfs/homes/lenzo/software.thop/lib/openmpi/mca_paffinity_linux.so: undefined symbol: mca_base_param_reg_int python: symbol lookup error: /people/thnfs/homes/lenzo/software.thop/lib/openmpi/mca_paffinity_linux.so: undefined symbol: mca_base_param_reg_int python: symbol lookup error: /people/thnfs/homes/lenzo/software.thop/lib/openmpi/mca_paffinity_linux.so: undefined symbol: mca_base_param_reg_int When I compile OpenMPI 1.3 using --enable-shared --enable-static the problem disappears. Note also, that the same program works when I'm using OpenMPI 1.2.x (tested 1.2.6 and 1.2.9). I do believe that the problem is connected with the problem described here: http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2005/09/0359.php I have found a workaround, but I think the problem is worth reporting. Let me know if I can help in debugging the problem. Greetings from Germany Olaf Lenz PS: It is not obvious on the OpenMPI web site where to report bugs. When clicking on "Bug Tracking", which seems most obvious, I'm redirected to the Trac Timeline, and there is no place where I can report bugs or anything. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFJnsPwtQ3riQ3oo/oRAmLfAJ9VdcC1eQCiJyQCoXdXF/UsAgECVgCfXYA+ H3ghX4gj3dGze0io6RQC+KE= =Wu5B -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
