I can't speak to ifort, but as one of the Open MPI maintainers for Debian, I can assure you that the 1.2.* series works just fine on Ubuntu ... if you rebuild from current Debian sources. I have forgotten what version of Open MPI made the 'freeze' for Ubuntu 7.10, but it is probably something older if not even the 1.1.*. I typically just point my apt inputs to Debian unstable source (not binary packages) and then fetch what I want to rebuild via 'apt-get source libopenmpi-dev'. That requires some minimal Debian packaging skills you could learn from a number of sources on the web, Now, if and when you rebuild from source, I would make sure that you do not have 'native' Ubuntu Open MPI and LAM '-dev' packages installed to avoid the header / library mismatch you seem to be experiencing. | I have not updated ifort since about 6 months, the only change between | last time I used MPI are small Ubuntu updates.....

Not what I call small. Hope this helps, Dirk -- Three out of two people have difficulties with fractions.
