Huh..this is strange.  Here's the chunk from my spec file and rpm
version.  I've now built 3 sets of multi-rpm openmpi, each with a
different name, and its worked flawlessly:

[root@aeolus ~]# rpmbuild --version
RPM version 4.3.3
[root@aeolus ~]# grep Requires /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/openmpi.spec
Requires: %{modules_rpm_name}
Requires: %{mpi_selector_rpm_name}
Requires: %{modules_rpm_name}
Requires: %{name}-runtime
Requires: %{name}-runtime

Perhaps its the difference between _name and name.


Bingo!  I don't know how I missed this (especially since there are  
other Requires with %{foo}), but using %{name} works just fine.

If you get the cycles, could you try the latest specfile from the  
trunk and see if that works for you?
