Jonathan/All, Thanks for the information, but I continue to have problems. I dropped the 'openib' option to simplify things and focused my attention only on OpenMPI version 1.4.4 because you suggested it works.
On the strength of the fact that the PGI 11.10 compiler works fine (all systems and all versions of OpenMPI), I ran a PGI build of 1.4.4 with the '-showme' option (Intel fails immediately, even with '-showme' ... ). I then substituted all the PGI-related strings with Intel-related strings to compile directly and explicitly outside the 'opal' wrapper using code and libraries in the Intel build tree of 1.4.4, as follows: pgcc -o ./hw2.exe hw2.c -I/share/apps/openmpi-pgi/1.4.4/include -L/share/apps/openmpi-pgi/1.4.4/lib -lmpi -lopen-rte -lopen-pal -ldl -Wl,--export-dynamic -lnsl -lutil -ldl becomes ... icc -o ./hw2.exe hw2.c -I/share/apps/openmpi-intel/1.4.4/include -L/share/apps/openmpi-intel/1.4.4/lib -lmpi -lopen-rte -lopen-pal -ldl -Wl,--export-dynamic -lnsl -lutil -ldl Interestingly, this direct-explicit Intel compile >>WORKS FINE<< (no segment fault like with the wrapped version) and the executable produced also >>RUNS FINE<<. So ... it looks to me like there is something wrong with using the 'opal' wrappper generated-used in the Intel build. Can someone make a suggestion ... ?? I would like to use the wrappers of course.

All, Working through a stock rebuild of OpenMPI 1.5.4 and 1.4.4 with the most current compiler suites from both PGI and Intel: 1. PGI, Version 11.10 2. Intel, Version 12.1.0.233 Build 20110811 My 1.5.4 'config.log' header looks like this for Intel: ./configure CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort FC=ifort --with-openib --prefix=/share/apps/openmpi-intel/1.5.4 --with-tm=/share/apps/pbs/11.1.0.111761 and this for PGI: ./configure CC=pgcc CXX=pgCC F77=pgf77 FC=pgf90 --with-openib --prefix=/share/apps/openmpi-pgi/1.5.4 --with-tm=/share/apps/pbs/11.1.0.111761 This configure line has been used successfully before. Configuration, build, and install for BOTH compilers seems to work OK; however, my 'mpicc' build of my basic test program ONLY works with the PGI built version of 'mpicc' for either the 1.4.4 or the 1.5.4 will compile the code. The Intel 1.4.4 and 1.5.4 'mpicc' wrapper-compilers produce an immediate segmentation fault: .[richard.walsh@bob pbs]$ ./compile_it ./compile_it: line 10: 19163 Segmentation fault /share/apps/openmpi-intel/1.5.4/bin/mpicc -o ./hello_mpi.exe hello_mpi.c [richard.walsh@bob pbs]$ [richard.walsh@bob pbs]$ ./compile_it ./compile_it: line 10: 19515 Segmentation fault /share/apps/openmpi-intel/1.4.4/bin/mpicc -o ./hello_mpi.exe hello_mpi.c This Intel stack is from the most recent release of their ICS released in late October before SC11: [richard.walsh@bob pbs]$ icc -V Intel(R) C Intel(R) 64 Compiler XE for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 12.1.0.233 Build 20110811 Copyright (C) 1985-2011 Intel Corporation.
