[mvapich-discuss] MVAPICH2 and OFED 1.5.2 without libibcommon

[Jonathan Perkins]

Hello, I've looked into this issue a bit and I don't see where we
would be depending on ibcommon.  I think this is an artifact from a
previous installation.  When building the mvapich2 library there is a
sample mpi program `cpi' that is built in the examples directory.
This should have failed to build if there was a dependency on the
non-existent library.

Are the applications simply using mpicc in order to build?  Do you
have multiple MPIs installed?  Can you check to make sure that you're
using the correct mpicc and its linking against the new mpicc.  Try
using `which mpicc' if you're not using the full path to mpicc
explicitly.  Are you able to build the osu_benchmarks (available in
the osu_benchmarks sub-directory and at
http://mvapich.cse.ohio-state.edu/benchmarks/osu-micro-benchmarks-3.3.tar.gz)?
