Can you manually install a recent version of hwloc

What kind of machine is kareline?

kareline (front-end) is a R720XD and the nodes are C6100 sleds from DELL. All is running with Rocks-Cluster (based on RHEL6). The install of hwloc and numactl was requested I think for OpenMPI 1.7.x. It was installed on the front-end (without the devel packages that OpenMPI seams to request at compile time) but not on the nodes.

At this time I was using cpusets and fake numa in the kernel to control cpu and memory use by the users (if someone request 2 cores and uses the whole node memory it can break other people's jobs).

Now OpenMPI 1.7.3 compiles and --bind-to-core or --bind-to-socket seams to work fine (I still have to check in death tomorrow).

I was needing to compile OpenMPI
- to use my Intel infiniband architecture
- because I have started to modify OpenMPI to interface it with my job scheduler (http://oar.imag.fr/dokuwiki/doku.php). My small modifications are working but I think they do not agree with the development concept of OpenMPI as I put all the stuff (20 lines) in orte/tools/orterun/orterun.c. I have to understand many concepts in OpenMPI development to contribute safely to this software (with a --use-oar may be) and it should be discussed later on the developper's forum.

Thanks all for your help.

Patrick
