Moving one step foreword, server 1, my compile server, has a number of commercial C++ compilers (Pathscale and Intel). I'd like to compile different version of the binary with each compiler and then run these binaries on the Server 2 g++-compiled OMPI environments. The FAQ says "not really, you can't do that": http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=sysadmin#multiple-installs , but I thought it might be time for an update with some hands-on experience?
You probably still can't do this. C++ compilers have different symbol mangling schemes and generally do not create executables that are link compatible with g++. *Some* C++ compilers may be link compatible with g++ (I seem to recall someone mentioning this before); check your vendors' docs and/or try a simple non-MPI C++ app to see if it works.
Good luck. -- Jeff Squyres Cisco Systems
