Aha - this might also explain what I faced some time ago. I tried to
compile an application called Molpro with GlobalArrays which I
compiled with Open MPI. I faced similar errors - the compilation
worked without any problem, but I couldn't run the application, as it
resulted in a similar error. Finally I gave up and stayed with mpich
(1) for this.
IMHO (and knowing very little about how linkers actually work), the
problem is with linker namespaces. If they could be inherited (e.g.,
a *tree* of scopes could be private), then things might work. It
would probably be interesting to sit down with a run-time linker
developer sometime and ask about this (I know that linkers are
fantastically complicated; there might be Good reasons why such a
scheme doesn't already exist).
