I wonder how that's happening... [...time passes...] Ok, I see the issue. It looks like a minor bug in the hwloc distribution itself (hwloc is a software package that OMPI wholly embeds). I've committed a fix in OMPI, hwloc, and have queued up the change to be in the next releases of Open MPI. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! As a workaround, you can simply remove this -L from the .la files. I am somewhat amused to note that this has been OMPI's behavior for quite some time -- you're the first to notice it! > # are the *.la files necessary at all? > (probably the answer is no: we tested this by deleting all *.la files in > /usr/opt/openmpi-1.6.4 and it helped: application is compiling+running) Yes; they're really only an aid for projects that build with Libtool. But the libtool that installs these files automatically, anyway; I don't know of an easy way to *not* install these .la files. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
