Hi Francesco, list

I was thinking of compatibility (and consistency)
rather than of performance.
I don't know about Debian, but on CentOS 5.2 x86_64
the 64-bit libnuma library lives at /usr/lib64,
and the 32-bit version on /usr/lib.

If you are trying to build 64-bit OpenMPI libraries with libnuma
support, it sounds to me that the natural path to choose is  /usr/lib64.

Sorry, I don't have an answer about performance.
You may need to ask somebody else or google around
about the relative performance of 32-bit vs. 64-bit mode.

Gustavo:
Does this imply that a compilation with "--with-libnuma=/usr/lib64"
may afford better performance?

Am asking that because in the meantime I have taken previous
compilation of openmpi-1.2.6 and use it (one disk of raid1 died and I
changed both with larger ones). If better performance I can try to
replace openmpi with the latest version and libnuma pointing to 64.

thanks

Francesco:
Besides the typo that Jeff found on your
CXX definition, I would guess you want
--with-libnuma=/usr/lib64
(since your machine is amd64,
and you are using the 64-bit Intel compilers: cce, fce).
That is instead of --with-libnuma=/usr/lib (32-bit).
The /usr/lib64 path also works for other extra libraries
(e.g. Torque, Infiniband) on Linux x86_64.

This is what I used on our AMD x86_64 with CentOS 5.2, and it works.

My two cents,

Hi:
With debian linux amd64 lenny I tried to install openmpi-1.3.1 instead
of using the executables openmpi-1.2.6 of previous disks. I configured
as for 1.2.6 (wrong ?)

CC=/opt/intel/cce/10.1.015/bin/icc CXX=opt/intel/cce/10.1.015/bin/icpc

Don't you need a / in the beginning of the CXX definition?

F77=/opt/intel/fce/10.1.015/bin/ifort
FC=/opt/intel/fce/10.1.015/bin/ifort --with-libnuma=/usr/lib

getting:

checking whether using GNU C++ compiler .. yes

dependency style icpc ...  gcc3

checking how to run C++ preprocessor ... /lib/cpp

checking for compiler vendor ... intel

cheching if C++ compiler works .. NO

it is not clear to me to which compiler NO refers: gcc or intel? I

I would assume the C++ compiler is icpc since it's in your (abbreviated)
output shown above.

would also appreciate very much a direction how to chech gcc and intel
C++ independently.

I'm not sure what you're asking here..?  Open MPI's configure has 2
independent sections checking characteristics of the C and C++ compilers.
