Mathias: I built on AIX on POWER pltform using the following build script and it worked:
#!/bin/sh export OBJECT_MODE=64 export CC=xlc_r export CXX=xlC_r export F77=xlf_r export FC=xlf90_r export CFLAGS="-qthreaded -O3 -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=pwr5x -qtune=pwr5 -q64 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1" export CXXFLAGS="-qthreaded -O3 -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=pwr5x -qtune=pwr5 -q64" export FFLAGS="-qthreaded -O3 -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=pwr5x -qtune=pwr5 -q64" export FCFLAGS="-qthreaded -O3 -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=pwr5x -qtune=pwr5 -q64" ./configure --prefix=/vol/swamy/OpenMPI/AIX --disable-shared --enable-static LDFLAGS="-Wl,-brtl" --with-loadleveler=/usr/lpp/LoadL/full Please give a try.

I know this isn't officially supported, but I report the bug anyway (otherwise it'll never get chance to be supported, right ?). I started configure with ./configure CC="xlc -q64" CXX="xlc++ -q64" F77="xlf -q64" FC="xlf90 -q64" NM="nm -X64" AR="ar -X64" --disable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi to build with IBM XL compilers in 64 bit mode (-q64). Configure completed to the end, however it printed the following status about atomic operations in the config.log file: configure:26189: checking for pre-built assembly file configure:26206: result: no (not in asm-data) configure:26214: checking whether possible to generate assembly file configure:26219: perl /vol/ctt/mpuetz/openmpi-1.2.5 /opal/asm/generate-asm.pl POWERPC64 aix-.csect .text[PR]-.globl-:-.-\ L--0-0-0-1-0 /vol/ctt/mpuetz/openmpi-1.2.5/opal/asm/base /vol/ctt/mpuetz/openmpi-1.2.5/opal/asm/generated/atomic-local.\ s >conftest.out 2>&1 configure:26222: $? = 2 Could not open .text[PR]-.globl-:-.-L--0-0-0-1-0/POWERPC64.asm: No such file or directory configure:26232: result: failed configure:26234: WARNING: Could not build atomic operations assembly file. configure:26236: WARNING: There will be no atomic operations for this build. configure:26254: checking for atomic assembly filename configure:26257: result: none Thus configure fails to find the ./opal/asm/generated/atomic-powerpc64-aix.s file which is definitely present. In the end OpenMPI fails to build because of missing atomic functions in the opal library. I inspected the configure script for the test in "configure:26206: result: no (not in asm-data)" which is obviously failing: if grep "$ompi_cv_asm_arch" "${top_ompi_srcdir}/opal/asm/asm-data.txt" | $FGREP "$ompi_cv_asm_format" >conftest.out\ 2>&1 ; then ompi_cv_asm_file="`cut -f3 conftest.out`" if test ! "$ompi_cv_asm_file" = "" ; then ompi_cv_asm_file="atomic-${ompi_cv_asm_file}.s" if test -f "${top_ompi_srcdir}/opal/asm/generated/${ompi_cv_asm_file}" ; then { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: yes ($ompi_cv_asm_file)" >&5 echo "${ECHO_T}yes ($ompi_cv_asm_file)" >&6; } else { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: no ($ompi_cv_asm_file not found)" >&5 echo "${ECHO_T}no ($ompi_cv_asm_file not found)" >&6; } ompi_cv_asm_file="" fi fi else { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: no (not in asm-data)" >&5 echo "${ECHO_T}no (not in asm-data)" >&6; } fi ompi_cv_asm_arch has the value "POWERPC64". The value determined earlier for ompi_cv_asm_format = "aix-.csect .text[PR]-.globl-:-.-L--0-0-0-1-0". This asm_format is not found in the standard asm-data.txt file which reads for POWERPC64: aix-.csect .text[PR]-.globl-:-.-L--0-1-0-1-0 By a single 1 that stands for align_log. Then configure continues to make an attempt to generate an assembly file on the fly, This test is buggy in a single line: ompi_try='$PERL $top_ompi_srcdir/opal/asm/generate-asm.pl $ompi_cv_asm_arch $ompi_cv_asm_format $top_ompi_srcdir/opal/asm/base $top_o\ mpi_builddir/opal/asm/generated/$ompi_cv_asm_file >conftest.out 2>&1' where $ompi_cv_asm_format should be enclosed in double quotes "", because the format string may contain a blanks (at least in the AIX case it does), Hence all tests fail, no atomic asm source code is generated and the whole build fails. 1. Could you please fix the bug above in the configure script ? 2. Could someone explain, why configure might determine a different ompi_cv_asm_format than stated in the asm-data.txt database ? Maybe the meaning of the cryptic assmebler format string is explained somewhere. If so, could someone point me to the explanation ?
