This is not a bug just wonder if this can be improved. I have been running openmpi linked program with command
<openmpi-install-dir>/bin/mpirun --prefix <openmpi-install-dir> \ --host A -np N a.out My understanding is that --prefix allows extra search path in addition to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, correct me if I am wrong. Assuming that openmpi's install directory structure is fixed, would it possible for mpirun to search <openmpi-install-dir> automatically for libmpi.so & friends so to avoid the redundant --prefix <openmpi-install-dir> to mpirun ? Thanks, A.Chan
