Progress thread support currently does not work, and may never be fully implemented. If you remove that configure option, it should work.

I'm pretty sure we only left that option so developers could play at fixing it, though I don't know of anyone actually making the attempt at the moment (certainly, it would require significant changes to ORTE).

Hi,

I have added the two following options: --enable-mpi-threads
--enable-progress-threads in configure step of openmpi-1.3.3.

After install, mpirun command doesn't work on a very simple mpi program.
There is a dead lock and program is not executed.
