Hi all, I am not really sure whether this is an intel or ompi bug?
I have now tried with all 1.10.* versions (including 1.10.1rc[23]) to test whether this could be circumvented. I use the intel 2016.1.0.423501 compiler. I can successfully compile OpenMPI and use the C-compiler. But as soon as I compile the most simple fortran (ping-pong) program with mpif90 (no compile flags) I get symbol lookup errors. $> mpirun -np <> <exec> intel: symbol lookup error: */XeonX5550/openmpi/1.10.1/intel-16.0.0/lib/libmpi_mpifh.so.12: undefined symbol: mpi_fortran_argvs_null__ So I thought that it was really a missing symbol, hence I grepped for the routine in the libraries: for m in *.a *.so do echo $m nm $m | grep mpi_fortran_argv done And came up with: libopen-trace-format.a libotfaux.a libvt.a libvt-hyb.a libvt-mpi.a libvt-mpi-unify.a libvt-mt.a libvt-pomp.a libmca_common_sm.so libmca_common_verbs.so libmpi_cxx.so libmpi_mpifh.so U mpi_fortran_argv_null U mpi_fortran_argv_null_ U mpi_fortran_argv_null__ U mpi_fortran_argvs_null U mpi_fortran_argvs_null_ U mpi_fortran_argvs_null__ U ompi_fortran_argv_f2c libmpi.so 00000000002fb160 B mpi_fortran_argv_null 00000000002fb080 B mpi_fortran_argv_null_ 00000000002fb028 B mpi_fortran_argv_null__ 00000000002fb1d8 B mpi_fortran_argvs_null 00000000002fb220 B mpi_fortran_argvs_null_ 00000000002fb060 B mpi_fortran_argvs_null__ 0000000000086d60 T ompi_fortran_argv_f2c libmpi_usempif08.so 00000000002ce2c0 B mpi_fortran_argv_null 00000000002ce2a0 B mpi_fortran_argvs_null libmpi_usempi_ignore_tkr.so 00000000002a8500 B mpi_fortran_argv_null_ 00000000002a8560 B mpi_fortran_argvs_null_ libompitrace.so libopen-pal.so libopen-rte.so libopen-trace-format.so liboshmem.so 0000000000356e60 B mpi_fortran_argv_null 0000000000356d00 B mpi_fortran_argv_null_ 0000000000356bc0 B mpi_fortran_argv_null__ 0000000000356f00 B mpi_fortran_argvs_null 0000000000356f20 B mpi_fortran_argvs_null_ 0000000000356ca0 B mpi_fortran_argvs_null__ libotfaux.so libvt-hyb.so libvt-mpi.so libvt-mpi-unify.so libvt-mt.so libvt.so So they are uninitialized in the common section of mpi.so, but undefined in mpi_mpifh.so. Note: I have also tried with intel 15 and ompi 1.8.X and the symbol tables are identical yet the program executes fine. Note: I then tried with gcc (5.2.0) and found the exact same nm listings, i.e. the mpi_fortran_argvs_null routine are all B/U defined in the libraries. Yet, the program runs fine. I have tried manually setting the -l order to -lmpi_mpifh -lmpi to no avail. Should this be reported to intel? Or? -- Kind regards Nick
