Hello Everyone,

I am trying to statically build open mpi libraries from a server which has intel and pgi compilers installed and copy the resulting binaries to be used on another test server since I do not have intel and pgi compilers on these test servers (only gcc). First of all, please tell me if this is possible.

So far these are the three different options I have tried and ended up getting the respective errors while running the mpicc or mpirun on the test server:

Option 1: Using LDFLAGS=-Bstatic

./configure CC=icc CXX=icpc F77=ifort FC=ifort LDFLAGS=-Bstatic --without-memory-manager --without-libnuma --enable-static --disable-shared --prefix=/opt/openmpi/openmpi-intel --enable-mpi-f77 --enable-mpi-f90 2>&1 | tee configure-intel.log

Error on the test server:

ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `/cm/shared/apps/torque/2.4.11/lib/libtorque.so'

make[2]: *** [orte-clean] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/openmpi/openmpi-1.4.3-intel/openmpi-1.4.3/orte/tools/orte-clean'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/openmpi/openmpi-1.4.3-intel/openmpi-1.4.3/orte'

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Option 2: Using LDFLAGS= -static

Error on the test server:

root@ubuntu-server2:/opt/openmpi-intel/bin# ./mpicc

Cannot open configuration file /opt/openmpi/openmpi-intel/share/openmpi/mpicc-wrapper-data.txt

Error parsing data file mpicc: Not found

root@ubuntu-server2:/opt/openmpi-intel/bin# mpirun

mpirun: error while loading shared libraries: libtorque.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Option 3: LDFLAGS=-static-intel (same as deprecated i-static option)

Error on the test server

mpirun: error while loading shared libraries: libtorque.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

root@ubuntu-server2:/opt/openmpi-intel/bin# ./mpicc

Cannot open configuration file /opt/openmpi/openmpi-intel/share/openmpi/mpicc-wrapper-data.txt

Error parsing data file mpicc: Not found

How do I exclude torque shared libraries. Will that solve the problem?

FYI, both servers (test and the original server) are 64-bit AMD opterons and the openmpi works perfectly fine on the original server on which they were built on.

Any comments or suggestions will help.

Thanks,

Rohan
