Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Compile problems with 1.3.2

That sounds good; I'm glad there are a variety of tools out there.
However, this now brings me back to my origional problem. I was
successful at compiling openmpi after disabling vt, but if I want to
use (some of) these tools, I'll need that enabled...So how do I fix
the actual problem and compile openmpi with vt?
Also, as a side note, the rpm generation process also mentioned
several files that were "installed but unpackaged"; many of these look
like they should not be:
warning: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-checkpoint
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-clean
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-iof
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-ps
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-restart
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/ompi-server
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/orte-clean
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/orte-iof
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/bin/orte-ps
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/etc/openmpi-default-hostfile
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/etc/openmpi-mca-params.conf
/opt/openmpi-gcc/1.3.2/etc/openmpi-totalview.tcl
Thanks!
