The libevent file is there in the 5.0.10 tarball: $ wget https://download.open-mpi.org/release/open-mpi/v5.0/openmpi-5.0.10.tar.gz …snipped… $ tar tf openmpi-5.0.10.tar.gz| grep libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz openmpi-5.0.10/3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz $
I think you might want to check how the original tarball was unzipped, and/or make sure that the backing store didn’t somehow exclude saving that file. > On Apr 28, 2026, at 7:09 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > Hello Howard, > > Thank you so much for your time and help! > > "'Pritchard Jr., Howard' via Open MPI users" <[email protected]> > escribió: > >> Hello Jorge, >> >> Could you check if /home/bigpack/openmpi-paq/openmpi-5.0.10/3rd-party > > I followed the usual procedure, i.e. I downloaded the file > https://download.open-mpi.org/release/open-mpi/v5.0/openmpi-5.0.10.tar.gz > and configure it. > >> has libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz present? > > However, there is no such file, i.e. > > configure: Expanding ./3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz in > 3rd-party > ./configure: line 60632: > /home/bigpack/openmpi-paq/openmpi-5.0.10/3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz: > No such file or directory > tar: This does not look like a tar archive > tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors > configure: error: failed to extract > 3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz > configure: ===== configuring 3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi ===== > configure: WARNING: no configuration information is in > 3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi > configure: ===== done with 3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi configure > ===== > ./configure: line 60909: test: -eq: unary operator expected > configure: error: Could not find viable libevent build. > >> It should be there.
