I'm surprised that there are users still reporting issues getting this to work, but as I'm still seeing notes in the digest I wanted to share (what I believe the issue is) and how I've fixed it.
If you don't take special measures, OpenMPI will be dynamically linked and have runtime dependencies on several of Intel's .so files. However, passing LD_LIBRARY_PATH has an option on mpirun is often not sufficient because the orted process itself has these dyanmic dependencies... so when you invoke mpirun, it fires up and launches orted on the remote hosts (with the intention of passing LD_LIBRARY_PATH or whatever to the remote process but the remote process immediately fails because it cannot resolve its dependencies (and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is never setup on the far side). So I see two options: 1) linking orted statically. (Not sure if I've ever done this) 2) Passing an rpath in your openmpi link options so that oreted can resolve its own dependencies without needing an LD_LIBRARY_PATH You can do #2 by using something similar to the following on your configure line ./configure --prefix=/path/to/where/to/install/openmpi LDFLAGS="-Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/intel/compiler/lib_directory" -Alan -- a...@madllama.net http://humbleville.blogspot.com
