Hi Ole, We've had a similar issue, but then for PBS. I created a new eb file and added with-tm specifying full-path: configopts += '--with-tm=/full/path/to/pbs '
I then installed openmpi with --force --rebuild. For some reason when not specifying the full path it doesn't work for us at the moment. I still need to look at this, as it is inconvenient having to update this file when we upgrade PBS. At least for now it does the trick.
