Looks to me like you should be using: --with-pmi=/usr It needs to find the headers and the libraries.

So, config.log says: This file contains any messages produced by compilers while running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake. It was created by Open MPI configure 2.1.0, which was generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69. Invocation command line was $ ./configure --prefix=/trinity/shared/easybuild/software/OpenMPI/2.1.0-GCC-6.3.0-2.28 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --enable-shared --enable-mpi-thread-multiple --with-verbs --enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default --with-hwloc=/trinity/shared/easybuild/software/hwloc/1.11.6-GCC-6.3.0-2.28 --without-ucx --with-slurm --with-pmi=/usr/include/slurm --with-pmi-libdir=/usr/lib64 So while --with-pmi=/usr/include/slurm is given, which is indeed the directory containing the header files. However, configure doesn't look into this directory but instead looks at the for the non-existent 'include' and 'include/slurm' subdirectories: configure:80629: result: yes configure:80664: checking for pmi.h in /usr/include/slurm/include configure:80671: result: not found configure:80673: checking for pmi.h in /usr/include/slurm/include/slurm configure:80925: checking for pmi2.h in /usr/include/slurm/include configure:80932: result: not found configure:80934: checking for pmi2.h in /usr/include/slurm/include/slurm configure:80942: result: not found The problem seems to be that the OpemMPI 'configure' incorrectly adds 'include' and 'include/slurm' to the variable $check_pmi_install_dir. So is this version of OpenMPI just broken, as far as configure goes? Can anyone confirm?
