[mvapich-discuss] osu_benchmarks linking troubles using pgi/14.4 on machines with cuda disabled

[Burward-Hoy, Jane M]

Hi all,

The osu_benchmarks builds are failing with a fatal error using pgi/14.4:

make[2]: Entering directory
`/yellow/usr/projects/hpctools/janebh/hpcsoft/mvapich2/mvapich2-1.9-pgi-14.
4-conejo/mvapich2-1.9/osu_benchmarks'
  CC       osu_alltoallv.o
  CCLD     osu_alltoallv
nvlink fatal   : Unsupported file type '../lib/.libs/libmpich.so'
pgacclnk: child process exit status 2:
/usr/projects/hpcsoft/toss2.1/common/pgi/14.4/linux86-64/14.4/bin/pgnvd

when it tries to load the built version of either mvapich2 1.9 and 2.0a.

This is only for the mvapich2 builds on some of our older machines where
cuda is not installed. Everything works as expected for our machines with
cuda installed.

For the machines without cuda, the default configuration of mvapich2
installs 
with no problems (1.9 and 2.0a).  When I add the following compiler flags,
however, I encounter the above fatal error when trying to compile the
osu_benchmarks:

./configure --prefix=$prefix --enable-shared --enable-sharedlibs=gcc
--enable-romio --with-file-system=ufs+nfs+panfs+lustre --enable-g=dbg
--enable-debuginfo --with-mpe --enable-f77 --enable-fc --enable-cxx
--with-pm=no --with-pmi=slurm --with-device=ch3:mrail --with-rdma=gen2
--with-ch3-rank-bits=32 --without-cuda


Has anyone else encountered this when trying to build mvapich2 using the
pgi 
14.4 compiler (disabling cuda)?

Most appreciative of any help,

Jane
