Indeed this fails with the same error as the
compilation of 1.2.1 with "--enable-static".
Output files of this 1.3/SVN are at
http://www.lahaye.dds.nl/openmpi/
I tried to go here and got a 404 (probably because we took so long to
reply -- sorry...). Can you re-post these files?
My OS is CentOS 4.4
(the equivalent of RedHat Enterprise Edition 4).
Hence, my packages are not so up-to-date versions:
autoconf-2.59-5
automake-1.9.2-3
libtool-1.5.6-4.EL4.1.c4.2
libtool-libs-1.5.6-4.EL4.1.c4.2
flex-2.5.4a-33
(what else is essential to build OpenMpi?)
By the way, I don't think the above packages are
required for building OpenMPI from the 1.2.1
source tarball, or are they?
Correct. The OMPI downloadable tarballs (including the nightly
snapshots) are self-contained; you don't need the above-listed tools
to compile them. Those tools are really only necessary for developer
builds of Open MPI (e.g., a Subversion checkout).
