Hi Jeff, Thanks, I will give that a try and repost to the list if problems remain. I am kind of surprised that compiling with -fpic is not done by default on a Linux system, since OpenMPI builds as a set of shared library .so files. Normally you want position-independent code in such libraries so that, among other reasons, static objects are handled properly.
