The error happen when Open MPI tried to open the MX BTL. However, this does not necessary means that the MX file was not found. I think the problem is not the Open MPI libraries but the MX driver itself.

I suggest you do a ldd on the mca_btl_mx.so file and check that all dependencies are fulfilled ? All your nodes have a similar configuration ? Do they all have the MX library installed ?

  Thanks,

I have myricom mx installed and configured and its communications work (using

Then I configured openmpi-1.3a1r12408 with mx and the configuration
did give no errors. The built of the openmpi was without problems and it
installed properly. I can build and link a program - and ldd shows the
openmpi libraries linked accordingly.

In order to run applications I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the PATH correctly
but the command.


ompi_info | grep mx
[m2001:12844] mca: base: component_find: unable to open mtl mx: file not found
(ignored)
[m2001:12844] mca: base: component_find: unable to open btl mx: file not found
(ignored)
[m2001:12844] mca: base: component_find: unable to open mtl mx: file not found
(ignored)

and indeed the job does not run, if I give the instruction

-mca btl mx

Any idea why this should happen?
