[OMPI users] relocating an installation

2019-04-09 Thread Dave Love
Is it possible to use the environment or mpirun flags to run an OMPI
that's been relocated from where it was configured/installed?  (Say
you've unpacked a system package that expects to be under /usr and want
to run it from home without containers etc.)  I thought that was
possible, but I haven't found a way that works.  Using --prefix doesn't
find help files, at least.

export OPAL_PREFIX=

to point it to the new location of installation before you start `mpiexec`.

Thanks; that's now familiar, and I don't know how I missed it with
strings.

It should be documented.  I'd have expected --prefix to have the same
effect, and for there to be an MCA variable.  Would there be some
problem with either of those?

Dave,

Can you please  post the configure command line of the Open MPI you are trying 
to relocate ?

Cheers,

Gilles

There is this FAQ entry:

Can you provide a small, standalone example + recipe to show the problem?

Reuti's right.

Sorry about the potentially misleading use of "--prefix" -- we basically 
inherited that CLI option from a different MPI implementation (i.e., people 
asked for it).  So we were locked into that meaning for the "--prefix" CLI 
options.
