Ick. I wondered aloud on IM to Terry after your earlier emails if we should just custom-patch ltdl in OMPI to fix this issue. The problem is that libltdl is effectively reporting the "wrong" error back to OMPI, so the error string that we get to print out ends up not being very useful (e.g., not showing which symbol was missing, or what the problem was with the dlopen). Fixing this properly in libltdl is actually somewhat tricky -- which is why it hasn't been fixed yet. But given that OMPI's use of libltdl is pretty specific, we might be able to get away with a simple fix that works just for OMPI (but wouldn't necessarily be suitable for all other libltdl users).
Hmmm... This looks do-able. I'll commit in a bit. On Mar 5, 2010, at 1:27 PM, Leonardo Fialho wrote: > I see... but it is really strange because this module is clean, it does not > use nothing.
