Today I ran into the same problem as Warner Yuen (see thread below),
openmpi does not compile with icc and fails with an error where
libtool ask for --tag. The error is macosx specific.
It occurs in the compile for xgrid
in
openmpi-1.1/orte/mca/pls/xgrid
the Makefile fails; xgrid uses some objective-C stuff that needs to
be compiled with gcc [I guess]
after adjusting the Makefile.in
from
xgrid>grep -n "\-\-tag=OBJC" Makefile.in
216:LTOBJCCOMPILE = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=compile $(OBJC) $(DEFS) \
220:OBJCLINK = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=link $(OBJCLD) $(AM_OBJCFLAGS) \
to
xgrid>grep -n "\-\-tag=OBJC" Makefile.in
216:LTOBJCCOMPILE = $(LIBTOOL) --tag=OBJC --mode=compile $(OBJC) $
(DEFS) \
220:OBJCLINK = $(LIBTOOL) --tag=OBJC --mode=link $(OBJCLD) $
(AM_OBJCFLAGS)
the change elicits a warning that OBJC is not a known tag, but it
keeps going and compiles fine.
I do not use the xgrid portion so I do not now whether this is
clobbered or not. Standard runs using orterun
work fine.

It looks like there are some problems with GNU libtool's support for
the Intel compiler on OS X. I can't tell if it's a problem with the
Intel compiler or libtool. A quick fix is to build Open MPI with
static libraries rather than shared libraries. You can do this by
adding:
--disable-shared --enable-static
to the configure line for Open MPI (if you're building in the same
directory where you've already run configure, you want to run make
clean before building again).
I unfortunately don't have access to a Intel Mac machines with the
Intel compilers installed, so I can't verify this issue. I believe
one of the other developers does have such a configuration, so I'll
ask him when he's available (might be a week or two -- I believe he's
on vacation). This issue seems to be unique to your exact
configuration -- it doesn't happen with GCC on the Intel Mac nor on
Linux with the Intel compilers.
