Something I have just noticed on the NetBSD platform build that I think goes further than just that platform.
There is a NetBSD packaging clash between the libtrace.la from ompi/contrib/libtrace/ and that from an already existing package libtrace-3.0.6 (Homepage:http://research.wand.net.nz/software/libtrace.php) As the OpenMPI is just a contribution, I've tried turning off the building the OpenMPI libtrace using the time-honoured --enable-contrib-no-build=libtrace but it still builds. Is this a new contribution (was not in 1.4x ?) that is not controlled by the --enable-contrib-no-build= mechanism. The "configure --help" output only mentions "libnbc" and "vt" though there doesn't seem to be a "libnbc" to control anymore. Indeed a top-level, find . -name \*nbc\* -print returns empty handed. That contribution needs to be a) brought under the control of --enable-contrib-no-build= b) possibly renamed (it would seem to be an MPI specific thing) so maybe, libmpitrace ? -- Kevin M.
