That helps some; lsof now indicates the R has both the versions
in /usr/lib/openmpi and ~/install of libmpi.so, libopen-pal.so, and
libopen-rte.so.
Does anyone know how to tell which version it actually is using? The
libraries are different versions.
The library that it is picking up isn't on LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and so I
think something else is going on. Specifically, if I library("Rmpi")
and do lsof on the process I see (among other things)
R 17538 ross txt REG 8,1 5648 3058294
/usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R
R 17538 ross mem REG 8,1 335240 3105336
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libopen-pal.so.0.0.0
R 17538 ross mem REG 8,1 304576 3105337
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libopen-rte.so.0.0.0
R 17538 ross mem REG 8,1 679992 3105332
/usr/lib/openmpi/lib/libmpi.so.0.0.2
R 17538 ross mem REG 254,2 2802579 152045867
/home/ross/install/lib/libmpi.so.1.3.0
R 17538 ross mem REG 254,2 106626 152046481
/home/ross/Rlib-3.0.1/Rmpi/libs/Rmpi.so
BTW, ldd on the rmpi.so above gives (among other things)
libmpi.so.1 => /home/ross/install/lib/libmpi.so.1 (0x00007ff609d68000)
and neither it nor ldd libmpi.so (my personal version) have references to
/usr/lib/openmpi.
Rmpi.so does reference some of the libraries in /usr/lib/openmpi. ldd mentions
libopen-rte.so.7 => /home/ross/install/lib/libopen-rte.so.7
(0x00007ff608d07000)
but not libopen-pal
I believe the paths indicated by ldd are simply hints to the dynamic loader
about where to look.
BTW, Rmpi was installed with
R CMD INSTALL Rmpi
--configure-args='--with-Rmpi-include=/home/ross/install/include
--with-Rmpi-libpath=/home/ross/install/lib --with-mpi=/home/ross/install
--with-Rmpi-type=OPENMPI'
Maybe the --with-mpi path needs a /lib.
