Hi Jeff, Thank you for your feedback. In all cases, I installed it clean. After consulting the mpiBLAST user group, I learned that there is an issue building mpiBLAST with openMPI on Intel platforms and that it is being investigated. Once I learn more about it, I will post it here. I would still try to get mpiBLAST built on PPC (OS 10.4) using openMPI and I would appreciate any hints regarding settings for running ./configure.

Make sure that you are using the Open MPI that you have installed from source and not the Open MPI that is installed by OS X by default. Does that help? -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com
