thank you, you have been doubly helpful, but I am having linking errors and I do not know what the solaris studio compiler's preferred linker is. The

the configure statement was

./configure --prefix=/state/partition1/apps/sunmpi/ --enable-mpi-threads --with-sge --enable-static --enable-sparse-groups CC=/opt/oracle/solstudio12.2/bin/suncc CXX=/opt/oracle/solstudio12.2/bin/sunCC F77=/opt/oracle/solstudio12.2/bin/sunf77 FC=/opt/oracle/solstudio12.2/bin/sunf90

   compile statement was

make all install 2>errors


    error below is

f90: Warning: Option -path passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise
f90: Warning: Option -path passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise
f90: Warning: Option -path passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise

f90: Warning: Option -soname passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise
/usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '-path'
/usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
make[4]: *** [libmpi_f90.la] Error 2
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

am I doing this wrong? are any of those configure flags unnecessary or inappropriate

I want to compile openmpi to work with the solaris studio express  or

flags I should use to get it working or portable to nodes on the cluster.
Software-wise,  it is a fairly homogeneous environment with only slight
variations on the hardware side which could be isolated (machinefile flag
and what-not)
Please advise


Hi Nehemiah
I just answered your email to the OpenMPI list.
I want to add that if you build OpenMPI with Torque support,
the machine file for each is not needed, it is provided by Torque.
I believe the same is true for SGE (but I don't use SGE).
