Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the response. Reviewing my builds, I realized that for
1.4.2, I had configured using
contrib/platform/lanl/tlcc/optimized-nopanasas
per Ralph Castain's suggestion. That file includes both:
enable_dlopen=no
enable_shared=yes
enable_static=yes
Here is my *real* issue. I am trying to test Voltaire's Fabric
Collective Accelerator, which extends mca_component_path, and
adds a few additional .so files. It appears I must have
enable_dlopen=yes for this to work, which makes sense.
I assume that the shared/static settings above result in
*both* .a and .so versions of the ompi libraries getting
built. I'm not sure if this will affect my ability to
use Voltaire's mca plugins, but I have determined that
simply removing the enable_dlopen=no is not sufficient
to restore all the ompi .so files. I assume (haven't
tried it yet) that removing the enable_static=yes will
result in the ompi .so files getting created.
I guess I'm just looking for some guidance in the use
of the above options. I have read many warnings on
the ompi website about trying to link statically.
Thanks!

It is more than likely that you compiled Open MPI with --enable-static and/or
--disable-dlopen. In this case, all of Open MPI's plugins are slurped up into
the libraries themselves (e.g., libmpi.so or libmpi.a). That's why everything
continues to work properly.

Hi,
In Open MPI 1.4.1, the directory lib/openmpi contains about 130
entries, including such things as mca_btl_openib.so. In my
build of Open MPI 1.4.2, lib/openmpi contains exactly three
items:
libompi_dbg_msgq.a libompi_dbg_msgq.la libompi_dbg_msgq.so
I have searched my 1.4.2 installation for mca_btl_openib.so,
to no avail. And yet, 1.4.2 seems to work "fine". Is my
installation broken, or is the organization significantly
different between the two versions? A quick scan of the
release notes didn't help.
Thanks!
