Oh, sorry. I grepped the code for the relevant libtool args and couldn't see any evidence it was done. I wonder how I missed it. > Versions where bumped to 0.0.1 for libmpi which has no > effect for dynamic linking. I've forgotten the rules on this, but the point is that it needs to affect dynamic linking to avoid running with earlier libraries (specifically picking up ones from 1.2, which is the most common problem). > Could you please elaborate on what needs to be addressed?

Maybe there isn't a problem, but it sounds as if you could still get an incompatible version dynamically linked. We don't run Debian on the clusters (unfortunately), and I don't have time to check what happens in a VM just now. If you're confident that binaries won't dynamically link incompatible libraries, that's good. Thanks for maintaining it, even though I can't use it; I don't understand the prejudice against Debian-ish systems on clusters. Apologies for the confusion.
