Dear Brian and George,






Good luck !
Pierre.

We could not check your fix because the nightly tarball was not updated accordingly ;-). I have discovered today the 1.0.1 version on the open-mpi web page and Francoise Roch tested it. The make goes a little further but still fails. Plesase find the logs in attachment.

Thanks for the update. I've fixed the next bug in subversion on the trunk and it should be in tonight's nightly tarball. I should also make it into v1.0.1, once that is made available.

Thanks Brian and George,

Francoise Roch tried the following version as you suggested

http://www.open-mpi.org/~brbarret/download/ openmpi-1.1a1r8384.tar.gz

Things go a little further but the make still fails.
Please find the logs attached.

Pierre.

I tried to experiment open-mpi on our Solaris10 v40z cluster hoping it might surpass lam/mpi 7.1.2b28...

I used the following script to compile in 64 bit mode:

The configure runs fine and the make aborts very rapidly.
I attach the log for configure+make and the config.log file.

George spotted the problem - it looks like config.guess/ config.sub always report i386 as the architecture when running on an Opteron. This isn't totally unexpected -- generally config.guess / config.sub reports the architecture target that is the default for the given platform and, as you said, Solaris on Opteron defaults to emitting 32 bit code. I think I have a fix for this issue, but I don't have any Opteron machines running Solaris to verify. Can you grab the Open MPI tarball at the URL below and see if it builds properly?

Thanks,

Brian

If that works for you, we'll push the change into Open MPI 1.0.1 (it's a very small change).
