Oops! Someone else just mailed me off-list and told me the same thing; I mis-read the version number in Bas' first mail. Tim Mattox is exactly right; the fix is on the OMPI trunk but not yet in the 1.2 branch (and therefore not in the 1.2 nightly tarballs).

Hello Bas van der Vlies,
The memory leak you found in Open MPI 1.2 has not yet been fixed in the
1.2 branch. You can follow the status of that particular fix for the
1.2 branch here:
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/970

The fix should go in soon, but I had a problem yesterday applying the fix.

It has been fixed in the trunk, which has nightly tarballs available
here where you don't need to run autogen (and shouldn't):
http://www.open-mpi.org/nightly/trunk/

Be aware that the trunk is currently under development for a future 1.3 release, and already has many differences with the 1.2 version. i.e. it is unstable.

However, what specifically happened when you say that ./autogen.sh fails on the trunk? What version of libtool, automake, and autoconf do you have?

Thanks for your bug report and your patience!

Yes we saw the memory leak, and a fix is already in the trunk right now..
Sorry i didn't reply back earlier...
The fix will be merged in V1.2, as soon as the release managers approve it..

Thank you,


Thanks we will test it and do some more scalapack testing.


Is the fix in trunk or also in the nighly build release. When i download
the trunk version ./autogen.sh fails.

If i use the nighyly build version of openmpi-1.2.1a0r14212.tar.gz. We
still observe a memory leak. Is this the right version?

Regards
