BINGO!!
mine don't match but I have openmpi-1.3 not openmpi-1.3.1
just downloaded a fresh copy
checked md5 and sha1 match
run my build.sh without x86_64 - hurrah
#!/bin/sh
../configure \
CC=cc CXX=CC F77=f77 FC=f90 \
CFLAGS=-m64 CXXFLAGS=-m64 FFLAGS=-m64 FCFLAGS=-m64 \
--enable-static \
--enable-orterun-prefix-by-default \
--enable-mpi-f90 \
--disable-mpi-threads \
--with-psm \
--with-psm-libdir=/usr/lib64
This runs until I get to...
--- MCA component mtl:psm (m4 configuration macro)
checking for MCA component mtl:psm compile mode... static
checking --with-psm value... simple ok (unspecified)
checking --with-psm-libdir value... sanity check ok (/usr/lib64)
checking psm.h usability... no
checking psm.h presence... no
checking for psm.h... no
configure: error: PSM support requested but not found. Aborting
Which is an entirely different problem
The lesson here seems to be that when things just don't make sense
there has to be a corruption someplace.
This is not the first time this week that I have seen undetected
bit level errors.
Now kicking myself for not checking the md5s earlier.
Time for me to pursue the psm installs
Start by trawling the archives and FAQs :-)
I think we should consider this thread closed
