Re: [EXTERNAL] [OMPI users] Where is the libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz file ?

 Dear Jeff.

Many thanks for your suggestions. In short:
1) The problem was (and still is present) with the source code of  
alternative 1
(https://download.open-mpi.org/release/open-mpi/v5.0/openmpi-5.0.10.tar.gz),
because that file does not contain all source codes in /3rd-party.

2) But with the source code of alternative 2
(https://download.open-mpi.org/release/open-mpi/v5.0/openmpi-5.0.10.tar.bz2),
everything returned to the normal way (sources, configuration,  
building, and installation).

Perhaps, the construction of the *.tar.gz file available in the  
repository should be reviewed.

Regards.
Jorge D'Elia

Just like libevent, OpenPMIx is also in that one tarball.  Most  
people can do the “quick start” in our  
docs: https://docs.open-mpi.org/en/v5.0.x/installing-open-mpi/quickstart.html#building-from-source
   
  I.e., download, untar, run ./configure, run make, run make install.
   
  If you’re doing something else, the instructions may be a bit  
different.  If you’re building from a git clone, for example, you’ll  
want to see the Developer’s  
guide: https://docs.open-mpi.org/en/v5.0.x/developers/index.html

           Dear Jeff Squyres,

Thank you so much for your suggestions. They helped me make some progress,
but I've gotten stuck again, this time with:

*** Configuring PMIx
configure: ===== configuring 3rd-party/openpmix =====
configure: WARNING: no configuration information is in 3rd-party/openpmix
configure: ===== done with 3rd-party/openpmix configure =====
configure: error: Could not find viable pmix build.

Please, where can I find a reliable PMIX source? Thanks in advance.

Regards.
Jorge D'Elia.

The libevent file is there in the 5.0.10 tarball:

$ wget  
https://download.open-mpi.org/release/open-mpi/v5.0/openmpi-5.0.10.tar.gz
…snipped…
$ tar tf openmpi-5.0.10.tar.gz| grep libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz
openmpi-5.0.10/3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz
$

I think you might want to check how the original tarball was  
unzipped, and/or make sure that the backing store didn’t somehow  
exclude saving that file.

Hello Jorge,

Could you check if /home/bigpack/openmpi-paq/openmpi-5.0.10/3rd-party

I followed the usual procedure, i.e. I downloaded the file
https://download.open-mpi.org/release/open-mpi/v5.0/openmpi-5.0.10.tar.gz
and configure it.

has libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz present?

However, there is no such file, i.e.

configure: Expanding  
./3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz in 3rd-party
./configure: line 60632:  
/home/bigpack/openmpi-paq/openmpi-5.0.10/3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz: No such file or  
directory
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
configure: error: failed to extract  
3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz
configure: ===== configuring 3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi =====
configure: WARNING: no configuration information is in  
3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi
configure: ===== done with 3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi  
configure =====
./configure: line 60909: test: -eq: unary operator expected
configure: error: Could not find viable libevent build.

It should be there.  It may be possible something is wrong with  
the g(un)zip utilities on your system?

Ok, I'll check it just in case.

If the tarball is present in 3rd-party why don’t you try running  
the following in the following in the 3rd-party directory:

gunzip libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz | tar xf –

Ok but, again, there is not any file.

and see what’s happens.

You may also want to check in the config.log in the top level  
directory of your unpacked Open MPI for “gzip” and see where the  
configury thinks your gzip command is located.

Ok.

Thanks again!

Regards.
Jorge.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [OMPI users] Where is the  
libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz file ?

Hi all,

I downloaded the  
openmpi-5.0.10.tar.gz<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/download.open-mpi.org/release/open-mpi/v5.0/openmpi-5.0.10.tar.gz__;!!Bt8fGhp8LhKGRg!AYxajar_k4gcP69SeOSe8tLYLNhyv3fxY4cqZldI_S9QOUvlEbVTQz9foo2jgbv5QqJH4opKZaTfoDJ7jggZd44$> package and I'm trying to build it using  
the
script given given in "Sec. 2.2. For problems building or  
installing Open MPI" of
https://docs.open-mpi.org/en/main/getting-help.html<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.open-mpi.org/en/main/getting-help.html__;!!Bt8fGhp8LhKGRg!AYxajar_k4gcP69SeOSe8tLYLNhyv3fxY4cqZldI_S9QOUvlEbVTQz9foo2jgbv5QqJH4opKZaTfoDJ7_MkDPGU$>.

But it's failing me with the missing file  
/3rd-party/libevent-2.1.12-stable-ompi.tar.gz,
as follows:

*** Configuring Libevent

Then, please, where can I download it?

Thanks in advance.
