I -think- there is...at least here, it does seem to behave that way on
our systems. Not sure if there is something done locally to make it work.
Also, though, I have noted that LD_LIBRARY_PATH does seem to be getting
forwarded on the 1.3 branch in some environments. OMPI isn't doing it
directly to the best of my knowledge, but I think the base environment
might be. Specifically, I noticed it on slurm earlier today. I'll check
the others as far as I can.
Craig: what environment are you using? ssh?
Ralph
We are using ssh (we do not use tight integration in SGE).

You might consider using something like "module" - we use that

The option to expand the remote LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in such a way that
Open MPI related applications have their dependencies satisfied, is

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is out of the scope of an MPI implementation, and I
don't think we should take care of it.
Passing the local LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the remote nodes doesn't make
much sense. There are plenty of environment, where the head node
have a different configuration than the compute nodes. Again, in
this case my original solution seems not that bad. If you copy (or
make a link if you prefer) in the Open MPI lib directory to the
compiler shared libraries, this will work.
george.
This does work. It just increases maintenance for each new version
of OpenMPI. How often does a head node have a different configuration
than the compute node? It would see that this would even more
support the
passing of LD_LIBRARY_PATH for OpenMPI tools to support a heterogeneous
configuration as you described.

Craig,
This is a problem with the Intel libraries and not the Open MPI
ones. You have to somehow make these libraries available on the
compute nodes.
What I usually do (but it's not the best way to solve this
problem) is to copy these libraries somewhere on my home area and
to add the directory to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
george.
This is ok when you only ever use one compiler, but it isn't very
flexible.
I want to keep it as simple as possible for my users, while having
a maintainable
system.
The libraries are on the compute nodes, the problem deals with
supporting
multiple versions of compilers. I can't just list all of the lib
paths
in ld.so.conf, because then the user will never get the correct
one. I can't
specify a static LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the same reason. I would
prefer not
to build my system libraries static.
To the OpenMPI developers, what is your opinion on changing
orterun/mpirun
to pass LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the remote hosts when starting OpenMPI
processes?
By hand, all that would be done is:
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH $OPMIPATH/orted <args>
This would ensure that orted is launched correctly.
Or is it better to just build the OpenMPI tools statically? We also
use other compilers (PGI, Lahey) so I need a solution that works for
all of them.
Thanks,
Craig

I am having problems launching openmpi jobs on my system. I
support multiple versions
of MPI and compilers using GNU Modules. For the default
compiler, everything is fine.
For non-default, I am having problems.
I built Openmpi-1.2.6 (and 1.2.7) with the following configure
options:
# module load intel/10.1
# ./configure CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort FC=ifort F90=ifort
--prefix=/opt/openmpi/1.2.7-intel-10.1 --without-
gridengine --enable-io-romio
--with-io-romio-flags=--with-file-sys=nfs+ufs
--with-openib=/opt/hjet/ofed/1.3.1
When I launch a job, I run the module command for the right
compiler/MPI version to set the paths
correctly. Mpirun passes LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the executable I am
launching, but not orted.
When orted is launched on the remote system, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
doesn't come with, and the Intel 10.1 libraries can't be found.
/opt/openmpi/1.2.7-intel-10.1/bin/orted: error while loading
shared libraries: libintlc.so.5: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory
How do others solve this problem?
