What is the output of ompi_info | grep memchecker? Can you also send the stdout from OMPI's configure where it is checking for valgrind compatibility? It should be fairly obvious, probably deep in the middle of the output of configure. Here's what mine looks like:
+++ Configuring MCA framework memchecker checking for no configure components in framework memchecker... checking for m4 configure components in framework memchecker... valgrind --- MCA component memchecker:valgrind (m4 configuration macro) checking for MCA component memchecker:valgrind compile mode... static checking --with-valgrind value... simple ok (unspecified) checking valgrind/valgrind.h usability... yes checking valgrind/valgrind.h presence... yes checking for valgrind/valgrind.h... yes checking for VALGRIND_CHECK_MEM_IS_ADDRESSABLE... yes checking if MCA component memchecker:valgrind can compile... yes On Jun 22, 2010, at 5:14 AM, Michele De Stefano wrote: > valgrind is installed, and worked with Open MPI 1.4.1. > > 2010/6/22 Eloi Gaudry <e...@fft.be>: > > Hi Michele, > > > > You may actually need to have gdb/valgrind installed before configuring and > > building OpenMPI with the --enable-memchecker option. > > > > Regards, > > Eloi > > > > > > On Tuesday 22 June 2010 10:44:16 Michele De Stefano wrote: > >> Good morning. > >> > >> I'm experiencing some problems with Open MPI 1.4.2, built on a CentOS > >> 5.5, on a 32 bit machine. > >> > >> I've configured it with > >> > >> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi --enable-debug > >> --enable-memchecker --enable-heterogeneous > >> > >> When I run "/usr/local/openmpi/bin/mpiexec -np 3 ls", Open MPI crashes > >> with this error message: > >> > >> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >> It looks like opal_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is > >> likely to abort.
