Ilias: Have you simply tried building Open MPI with flags that force static linking? E.g., something like this:
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared LDFLAGS=-Wl,-static I.e., put in LDFLAGS whatever flags your compiler/linker needs to force static linking. These LDFLAGS will be applied to all of Open MPI's executables, including mpirun. On Jan 24, 2012, at 10:28 AM, Ralph Castain wrote: > Good point!
