Thank you for all this information. Your diagnosis is totally right. I actually sent e-mail yesterday but apparently it never got through :<
It IS the MPI application that is failing to link, not OpenMPI itself; my e-mail was not well written; sorry Brice. The situation is this: I am trying to compile using an OpenMPI 1.5.4 that was built to be rooted in /release, but it is not placed there yet (testing); it is currently under /builds/release. I have set OPAL_PREFIX in the environment, with the intention of helping the compiler wrappers work right. Under /release, I currently have OpenMPI 1.4.3, whereas the OpenMPI under /builds/release is 1.5.4. What I am getting is this: The mpif90 wrapper (under /builds/release/openmpi/bin) puts -I/release instead of -I/builds/release. But it includes -L/builds/release. So I'm getting headers from 1.4.3 when compiling, but the libmpi from 1.5.4 when linking. I did a quick "move 1.4.3 out of the way and put 1.5.4 over to /release where it belongs" test, and my application did link without errors, so I think that confirms the nature of the problem. Is it a bug that mpif90 didn't pay attention to OPAL_PREFIX in the -I but did use it in the -L ? -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@open-mpi.org [mailto:users-boun...@open-mpi.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Squyres Sent: Friday, September 30, 2011 7:04 AM To: Open MPI Users Subject: Re: [OMPI users] EXTERNAL: Re: Unresolved reference 'mbind' and 'get_mempolicy' I think the issue here is that it's linking the *MPI application* that is causing the problem. Is that right? If so, can you send your exact application compile line, and the the output of that compile line with "--showme" at the end?
