Hi Abhinav 

For what it is worth, I built here OpenMPI 1.4.4 on Linux x86-64 CentOS 5.2 [a 
bit old]
with the PGI 11.7 compilers.
I didn't even use the -noswitcherror switch [which I had to use in some of the 
previous versions of OpenMPI and PGI].

How about forcing the use of shared libraries with -Bdynamic along with that 
-noswitcherror,
in the CC, FC, etc declarations?

Still, this looks strange, and my guess is that this may be some twist in your 
compiler
installation/configuration.  

But it may come also from the OpenMPI configure script.
Could the OpenMPI configure pick and use the PGI -Bstatic flag, perhaps?
This type of thing only the developers can tell.
Better hear from them.


I hope this helps,
Gus Correa
