sed nor have I asked about the use of --enable-static for their 1.3.2 configurations. I will have to follow-up on that. Jim On Wed, 2009-06-24 at 19:30 -0400, Gus Correa wrote: > Hi Jim > > Jim Kress ORG wrote: > > Hey Gus. I was correct. > > > > If I did: >

Hey Gus. I was correct. If I did: ./configure --prefix=/my/dir --with-openib=/usr --enable-static make all install then reboot and use mpi-selector to choose openmpi-1.3.2, and then: [root@master ~]# ompi_info --config Configured by: root Configured on: Wed Jun 24 18:02:0

Well, the whole situation is really bizarre. I just uninstalled openmpi 1.3.2 on my system. Then I installed OFED 1.4.1 to see if that resolves this situation. Here's what I get: [root@master ~]# ompi_info --config Configured by: root Configured on: Wed Jun 24 11:10:00 EDT

For the app I am using, ORCA (a Quantum Chemistry program), when it was compiled using openMPI 1.2.8 and run under 1.2.8 with the following in the openmpi-mca-params.conf file: btl=self,openib the app ran fine with no traffic over my Ethernet network and all traffic over my Infiniband network. H
