I already posed this question a couple of days ago, though on a wrong list, and I can't any more trace it. Sorry.
The question is whether, in compiling openmpi,the flag libnuma is needed or simply useful also in the special arrangement of the Tyan S2895 Thunder K8WE with two dual-core opterons and eighth memory modules, two GB each. If so (being first time to compile a mpi, and being nonexpert singleuser/administrator) I would be much obliged for checking the series of commands below (as superuser) for Linux Debian amd64 etch: cd /usr/local bunzip2 openmpi-1.2.2.tar.bz2 tar xvf openmpi-1.2.2.tar cd /usr/local/openmpi-1.2.2 FC=/opt/intel/cce/9.1.036/bin/ifort; export FC CC=/opt/intel/cce/9.1.042/bin/icc; export CC CXX=/opt/intel/cce/9.1.042/bin/icpc; export CXX ./configure --with-libnuma=/full pat to libnuma-dev 0.9.11-4, 0.9.11-3 (not yet installed) make make install followed by setting as user in my .bashrc MPI_HOME=/usr/local; export MPI_HOME ____ mpi for a computational application that is best compiled with intel. On my system those intels already furnish runtime /opt/intel/fce/9.1.036/lib/libimf.so /opt/intel/cce/9.1.042/lib/libimf.so to a QM code (NWChem 5.0) that is built-in parallelized with TCGMSG.
