With Ralph's announcement that oshmem had been merged to v1.7 I started tests on lots of systems. When I found the problem described below, I tried the 1.7.4 release, I found the problem exists there too!!
One system I tried is a fairly ancient x86-64/linux system w/ QLogic HCAs, and thus builds and tests mtl:psm. As a guest on this system I had NOT been testing it with all the 1.7.4rc's, but had tested at least once w/o problems ( http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2014/01/13661.php). However, with both the 1.7.4 release and the current tarball (1.7.5a1r30634) I seem to be getting an ibv error that is probably due to the age of the OFED on this system: CCLD otfmerge-mpi /home/phhargrove/OMPI/openmpi-1.7-latest-linux-x86_64-psm/BLD/ompi/contrib/vt/vt/../../../.libs/libmpi.so: undefined reference to `ibv_event_type_str' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status The problem seems to be originating in the usenic btl: $ grep -rl ibv_event_type_str . ./ompi/mca/btl/usnic/btl_usnic_module.c -Paul -- Paul H.
