[mvapich-discuss] mvapich2 either with Intel TrueScale IB or no IB at all

[Frank Winter]

Hi all,

I try to install mvapich2-2.2rc1 on a system that only has Intel 
TrueScale IB. Some searching about it gave me the impression that this 
is not really supported yet. However, for now I only require the basic 
functionality of the MPI wrappers (SMP is enough). Thus I'd like to 
build mvapich2 with SMP support only. Unfortunately the system I am on 
hasn't got the 'libibverbs' installed, and I was hoping to not need it 
since I am not root on that system. However, configuring mvapich2 with

     --enable-fortran=no \
     --with-device=ch3:mrail \
     --with-rdma=gen2 \

gives

configure: error: 'libibverbs not found. Did you specify 
--with-ib-libpath=?'
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

Can I completely disable all Infiniband functions such that this library 
is not needed?

Regards,
Frank
