I have tried building the current v1.7 tarball (1.7.5a1r30639) with gcc on two ppc64/linux machines and one ppc32/linux. All three die in MPI_Init when I try to run ring_c.
I've retested 1.7.4 on both ppc64 machines, and thankfully the problem is not present. Each of them at least dies with what looks like a potentially useful backtrace: $ mpirun -mca btl sm,self -np 2 examples/ring_c *** glibc detected *** examples/ring_c: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x000001003f1d5ce0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6[0x80c9b8f4f4] /home/hargrov1/OMPI/openmpi-1.7-latest-linux-ppc64-gcc/INST/lib/libmpi.so.1(mca_btl_sm_add_procs-0x2db2c8)[0xfffa29e59a8] /home/hargrov1/OMPI/openmpi-1.7-latest-linux-ppc64-gcc/INST/lib/libmpi.so.1(+0x2311bc)[0xfffa29711bc] /home/hargrov1/OMPI/openmpi-1.7-latest-linux-ppc64-gcc/INST/lib/libmpi.so.1(mca_pml_ob1_add_procs-0x14f514)[0xfffa2b7df3c] /home/hargrov1/OMPI/openmpi-1.7-latest-linux-ppc64-gcc/INST/lib/libmpi.so.1(ompi_mpi_init-0x421ff0)[0xfffa28911f0] /home/hargrov1/OMPI/openmpi-1.7-latest-linux-ppc64-gcc/INST/lib/libmpi.so.1(MPI_Init-0x3d7120)[0xfffa28df670] examples/ring_c[0x100009ac] /lib64/libc.so.6[0x80c9b2bcd8] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main-0x184e00)[0x80c9b2bed0] [bd-login:51140] WARNING: common_sm_module_unlink failed.
