Brian,

Sure, but my example will probably seem a little odd. I am calling the mpi shared library from Python using ctypes.

The dependencies for doing things this way are:

1. Python built with --enable-shared
2. The ctypes python package
3. OpenMPI configured with --enable-shared

Once you have this, the following python script will cause the problem on Mac OS X:

from ctypes import *

f = pythonapi.Py_GetArgcArgv
argc = c_int()
argv = POINTER(c_char_p)()
f(byref(argc), byref(argv))
mpi = cdll.LoadLibrary('libmpi.0.dylib')
mpi.MPI_Init(byref(argc), byref(argv))

I will try this on Linux as well to see if I get the same error. One important piece of the puzzle is that if I configure openmpi with the --disable-dlopen flag, I don't have the problem. I will do some further testing on different systems and get back to you.

Thanks for looking at this.

Brian

This is quite strange, and we're having some trouble figuring out
exactly why the opening is failing. Do you have a (somewhat?) easy list
of instructions so that I can try to reproduce this?

Thanks,

HI,

I am trying to dynamically load mpi.dylib on Mac OS X (using ctypes in
python).  It seems to
load fine, but when I call MPI_Init(), I get the error shown below. I
can call other functions just fine (like MPI_Initialized).

Also, my mpi install is seeing all the needed components and I can
load them myself without error using dlopen.  I can also compile and
run mpi programs and I build openmpi with shared library support.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
No available pml components were found!

This means that there are no components of this type installed on your
system or all the components reported that they could not be used.

This is a fatal error; your MPI process is likely to abort. Check the
output of the "ompi_info" command and ensure that components of this
type are available on your system.  You may also wish to check the
value of the "component_path" MCA parameter and ensure that it has at
least one directory that contains valid MCA components.

[localhost:00973] PML ob1 cannot be selected

Any Ideas?

Thanks
