Hi Zhigang
So, did setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH work?
**
I don't add many options to the OpenMPI configure,
besides --prefix.
OpenMPI does a very good job searching and checking
for everything that is available and that it needs in the system.
It will build with support for nearly everything it finds
and that works.
Since you are using OpenMPI in your university HPC computer,
you may want to piggy back support from its resource manager/queue
system (e.g. Torque/PBS, --with-tm, or SGE, or SLURM).
This makes mpiexec work in cooperation with the resource manager (RM),
automatically using the nodes that were allocated by the the RM
to your job.
That is not essential, but it helps.
The same is true if there is specific hardware
(e.g. Infinband --with-openib, NUMA, --with-libnuma, etc).
You may need to point configure to the directories where these libraries
are, if they are not in standard locations, it depends on your system.
Do ./configure --help for a list of options.
Also, consult the OpenMPI FAQ, which is the best resource to answer
many of your questions:
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/
One way to check what configuration options OpenMPI is really using,
is to redirect the configure output to a file, and inspect it to see if
everything you want is there.
I hope this helps,

Hi, thanks, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been set, and I checked again, and I
don't think there is a confict.
May I ask you a question, how do you normally configure your openmpi?
I guess you will not use simply "./configure --prefix=blahblah", pls
correct me if I am wrong.
So, what is your procedure to check your system hardware and software
background, so as to make openmpi correctly built.
That's my question.
And Thank you, Gus

Hi Zhigang
Are you talking about a run time failure?
If you are, I think what is missing is just to set the PATH and the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to point to the OpenMPI directories.
This can be done in your .[t]cshrc / .profile / .bashrc
file in your home directory (assuming it is accessible by all computers
that you're using to run the program).
Hopefully it will override the default OpenMPI 1.3.2 in your HPC.
See this FAQ:
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#adding-ompi-to-path
There are other ways to do it, which you can find with
"man $MY_OWN_DIR/share/man/man1/mpiexec".
(You could also set MANPATH to get the right man pages.)
I hope this helps,
Gus Correa
