That sounds good; I'm glad there are a variety of tools out there. However, this now brings me back to my origional problem. I was successful at compiling openmpi after disabling vt, but if I want to use (some of) these tools, I'll need that enabled...So how do I fix the actual problem and compile openmpi with vt?
Also, as a side note, the rpm generation process also mentioned several files that were "installed but unpackaged"; many of these look like they should not be: warning: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-checkpoint /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-clean /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-iof /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-ps /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-restart /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-server /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/orte-clean /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/orte-iof /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/orte-ps /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/etc/openmpi-default-hostfile /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/etc/openmpi-mca-params.conf /opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/etc/openmpi-totalview.tcl Thanks! --Jim On Mon, Jun 29, 2009 at 2:28 PM, Eugene Loh<eugene....@sun.com> wrote: > Jim Kusznir wrote: > >> Ok, trying now.
