I mereged your __DragonFly__ stuff into my patch and applied it against the NetBSD build. Things are still running on NetBSD albeit with the temporary name resolution issues. These come from a routine in opal/util/net.c opal/util/net.c:opal_net_get_hostname() and it is being called from: orte/mca/oob/tcp/oob_tcp.c:mca_oob_tcp_parse_uri() I've looked at these routines before, it was how I discovered that the s_len was not being set, so I'll have another dig around and see if I can see why the temporary errors occur, and, indeed, if they are actually temporary. The contents of the NetBSD patches directory I have been using, including your stuff, is now here: http://www.ecs.vuw.ac.nz/~kevin/forMPI/openmpi-1.3.4-20091209-netbsd.tar.gz -- Kevin M.
