Hi,

I downloaded the nightly release version 1.0.3a1r9650 and attempted to configure it disabling the fortran bindings for f77 and f90. However it gives me a new error when checking for epoll_ctlon broken Linux distros:

configure:error: cannot run test program while cross compiling.

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. I included the outputs of the configuration as an attachment.

Thank you,

Jorge

The system I am using to build openmpi is an intel P4 running
RedHat Enterprise 3. I am using it to crosscompile for a
system running a power pc 405, and montavista linux 3.1 over it.

It appears that this is an issue with our configure tests with more
recent versions of GCC and cross-compiling (the error will not occur
when not cross compiling).  Fixes have been applied for all the
upcoming releases.  You can grab a nightly release from the 1.0
branch tomorrow and it should work.  The nightly tarballs can be
downloaded from:

  http://www.open-mpi.org/nightly/v1.0/

Releases from the 1.0 series will not properly cross-compile the
Fortran bindings - they must explicitly be disabled with --disable-
mpi-f77 in order for the configure script to complete.  ROMIO on the
1.0 series has also not been tested to make sure it properly cross-
compiles.  This has been fixed for the upcoming 1.1 release, although
you will have to run an external program on the target platform in
order to generate a seed file for some of the data we need in order
to cross-compile our Fortran bindings.  We don't have documentation
on this just yet, but I can provide you with instructions if you need
Fortran bindings.


Hope this helps,

Brian
