Dear Ralph, I'm working on trunk, or close to it. When configuring with --program-prefix=someprefix I get:
configure: WARNING: *** The Open MPI configure script does not support --program-prefix, --program-suffix or --program-transform-name. Users are recommended to instead use --prefix with a unique directory and make symbolic links as desired for renaming. configure: error: *** Cannot continue This is what I meant by "disabled". And how --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default is involved? We just need an installation kept in separate folder to have uniquely named user-level wrappers, e.g. mpicc -> prefix-mpicc, etc., which correctly link to their local orte-wrapper.
