The only thing it could possibly do is disable RDMA for you. However, since removing it did not produce any undefined symbol errors, my guess is that your OpenMPI isn't using RDMA anyway. There might be an OpenMPI bug here, though. I've cc'd the OpenMPI community to see if they have any input. As a summary for them: Simon is trying to build our MPI-enabled application. A script which tries to automate this adds the output of "mpic++ -show". His build then failed because it attempted to link against librdmacm, which does not exist in his normal search paths (or maybe at all). Is it possible that `mpic++ -show' includes/adds "-lrdmacm" even when OpenMPI is not itself using the library?
