Hi,

It looks like make distclean will remove the following file: orte_hosts.7 and prevent a configure, new make ; make install.

I tried the pre-release versions (openmpi-1.3b1,b2) and one nightly tarball (openmpi-1.3b2r19907):

For openmpi-1.3b2:

Step 1 :

./configure --prefix=/tmp/openmpi-1.3b2 ; make ; make install

Step 2:

Make distclean

Step 1 again will fail:
