Yup: I still suspect compiler / linker changes in Ubuntu between Gutsy (released Oct 2007) and Hardy (April 2008). Why? Because the exactly same source package for Open MPI (as maintained by Manuel and myself for Debian) works for me on Ubuntu Hardy __if I compile it on Ubuntu Gutsy__. Now, I reported this to Ubuntu ... for no answer. Lucas and Christoph at Debian today released a feature allowing us Debian maintainers to see which our packages have bugreports in Ubuntu. It was only through this mechanism that I learned that the segfault I saw with Rmpi (using Open MPI) had been experienced by someone else, and that a similar bug occurs with Python use on top of Open MPI. But still no tangible answer from Canonical / Ubuntu other that some reshuffling of bug reports titles and numbers. Very disappointing. I am CCing Steffen and Andreas who've seen similar bugs and are awaiting answers too. I am also CCing Cesare at Ubuntu who did the bug rearrangement, maybe he will find a moment to share their plans with us.
