This isn't a problem for me; it's more of a bugreport.
When running ./configure --help, (on Open MPI 1.0.2) I found the following
source of amusement:
--enable-smp-locks disable smp locks in atomic ops (default:
enabled)
It occured to me that this may cause a bit of confusion...
Whenever --enable-X is used to DISable something, it's bound to cause some
head scratching.
default:enabled -- does this mean the option which /dis/ables the SMP
locks is the default, or does it mean that SMP locks are enabled by
default.
