Open MPI keeps references to GCC, GFortran, etc.

2017-07-27 Thread Ludovic Courtès
Hello, Open MPI retains references to GCC, GFortran, etc., which significantly increases its closure size. The references come from cpp macros such as OMPI_FC_ABSOLUTE (absolute file name of the Fortran compiler), defined in opal_config.h and returned by command-line tools ‘ompi_info’ and ‘oshmem

2017-07-27 Thread Christopher Baines
Hey, I noticed recently that there is a scheme client for Memcached [1], I was looking at how this can be used with Guile, with the intention of packaging it for Guix. I've figured one was of getting access through Guile, which is to run Guile with -x .sls, e.g. → GUILE_LOAD_PATH="." guile -x .s
