Hi Jeff, Thanks for your response, I eventually figured it out, here is the only way I got mpptest to compile:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/openmpi_`uname -m`/lib" CC="$HOME/openmpi_`uname -m`/bin/mpicc" ./configure --with-mpi="$HOME/openmpi_`uname -m`" And, yes I know I should use the mpicc wrapper and all (I do RTFM :P ) but mpptest is less than cooperative and hasn't been updated lately AFAIK. I'll keep you posted on some results as I get some results out (testing TCP/IP as well as the HyperTransport on a Tyan Beast). Up to now, LAM-MPI seems less efficient at async communications and shows no improovments with persistant communications under TCP/IP. OpenMPI, on the other hand, seems more efficient using persistant communications when in a HyperTransport (shmem) environment... I know I am crossing many test boudaries but I will post some PNGs of my results (as well as how I got to them ;) Eric On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Jeff Squyres wrote: > I think you want to add $HOME/openmpi_`uname -m`/lib to your > LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
