Just like libevent, OpenPMIx is also in that one tarball. Most people can do the “quick start” in our docs: https://docs.open-mpi.org/en/v5.0.x/installing-open-mpi/quickstart.html#building-from-source
I.e., download, untar, run ./configure, run make, run make install. If you’re doing something else, the instructions may be a bit different. If you’re building from a git clone, for example, you’ll want to see the Developer’s guide: https://docs.open-mpi.org/en/v5.0.x/developers/index.html > On Apr 29, 2026, at 1:42 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > Dear Jeff Squyres, > > Thank you so much for your suggestions.
