OK, I can only assume that with 1.5.22, some code links against libibverbs, or loads it earlier at runtime, so that the symbol is present. In any case I wonder why mthca.so isn't linked directly against libibverbs (maybe useful to suggest that to upstream). To find out the culprit, here's a couple of quick (well) ways: diff build-with-lt1.5/Makefile build-with-lt2.1a/Makefile and look for differences in library link variables. Otherwise, the config.log outputs should give clues. To give you some more hints for possible causes: ompi_info could have a different set of RPATH entries, or different NEEDED libraries than your test executable; if any of those cause libibverbs.so to be loaded, then the symbol would be visible already. Maybe your test executables even have different RPATHs or NEEDED libs (find out with 'objdump -p' and ldd)? > I've attached 2 tarballs to the bug (you have to go to the URL of the bug > to get them; they are not included in the mails): If there are tarballs available at http://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/334, then I'm too blind to find them.
