Public bug reported: I'm using openmpi on Jaunty.
It looks as though libopenmpi-dev does not depend on libibverbs-dev, but it should. When I try to link a program and libopenmpi-dev is installed, but libibverbs-dev is not, I get an error: bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link mpic++ -Wall -L/home/olenz/software/lib -o libesutil.la bindings.lo TupleVector.lo Timer.lo /bin/grep: /usr/lib/libibverbs.la: No such file or directory /bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libibverbs.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libibverbs.la' is not a valid libtool archive When I install libibverbs-dev, the error is gone. This looks to me as though the dependencies of libopenmpi-dev should include libibverbs-dev. However, as far as I understand, libibverbs is an infiniband library. In principle, I do not see a reason why I do have to install a library for a hardware that I do not have on my laptop. ** Affects: openmpi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- openmpi-dev depends on libibverbs-dev https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342344 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
