I'm very sorry, my test bench has crashed (and it's pxe/diskless, no persistent...) => no more logs AFAIR : It was a message with openmpi 1.4.4 (from scratch) against libibverbs-dev 1.1.5 from testing, complaining about not finding libibverbs.la > When you say building Open MPI from scratch do you mean rebuilding the Debian > package, or building from an upstream tar file, or ...? Tested both: build openmpi from debian stable source package (1.4.2) and from upstream (1.4.4). (I have a matrix of compilers/libs/environnements to provide to end-users.) I'll try to rebuild the test bench ASAP and keep you in touch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
