An old version of software I use (FDS 5.5.3 in this case - a CFD solver for fire) was compiled against LAM-MPI. It looks for the particular executables that came with LAM-MPI and looks for a running lamd. I tried a while ago to symlink against more current OpenMPI distributions without success (I will admit I didn't throw a huge amount of time at it).
I have LAM-MPI compiled and running on our Ubuntu cluster, but I got a request this morning from someone who read a post on the FDS fourm a few years ago for the CentOS RPMs. I went to lam-mpi-org to get them, got confused by the Chinese, Googled and found your blog post. The newer version of the software (Version 6) is compiled against OpenMPI. By the way, a .deb of recent OpenMPI releases would be really nice if someone would be so kind :-) Regards, Cian On 10 June 2015 at 11:23, Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) <jsquy...@cisco.com> wrote: > Just curious -- is there a reason you can't upgrade? > > I ask because: > > - LAM/MPI has been dead for nearly a decade. > - Open MPI is source compatible with LAM/MPI. > > > > > On Jun 10, 2015, at 5:07 AM, Cian Davis <cianda...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > Hi All, > > While OpenMPI is the way forward, there is a fair amount of software out > there still compiled against LAM-MPI.
