The building openmpi with sge faq says :
For Open MPI v1.2, SGE support is built automatically; there is nothing that you need to do. Note that SGE support first appeared in v1.2. NOTE: For Open MPI v1.3, or starting with trunk revision number r16422, you will need to explicitly request the SGE support with the "--with-sge" command line switch to Open MPI's configure script. For example: shell$ ./configure --with-sge After Open MPI is installed, you should see two components named "gridengine": shell$ ompi_info | grep gridengine MCA ras: gridengine (MCA v1.0, API v1.3, Component v1.3) MCA pls: gridengine (MCA v1.0, API v1.3, Component v1.3) Specific frameworks and version numbers may vary, depending on your version of Open MPI. Under running with sge : o verify if support for SGE is configured into your Open MPI installation, run ompi_info as shown below and look for gridengine. The components you will see are slightly different between v1.2 and v1.3. For Open MPI 1.2: shell$ ompi_info | grep gridengine MCA ras: gridengine (MCA v1.0, API v1.0, Component v1.2) MCA pls: gridengine (MCA v1.0, API v1.0, Component v1.2) For Open MPI 1.3: shell$ ompi_info | grep gridengine MCA ras: gridengine (MCA v2.0, API v2.0, Component v1.3) I believe the building portion should be modified to be consistent with the running portion.
