OpenMPI 4.1.7 and 5.0.5 Incomplete Installations

[ParticleTruthSeeker]

The builds wont produce openshmem wrapper and 5.0.5 links against wrong libopen-pal 40 vs 80 and still fails to produce the openshmem compiler wrappers.

Please submit all the information below so that we can understand the working environment that is the context for your question.

• If you have a problem building or installing Open MPI, be sure to read this.
• If you have a problem launching MPI or OpenSHMEM applications, be sure to read this.
• If you have a problem running MPI or OpenSHMEM applications (i.e., after launching them), be sure to read this.

Background information

What version of Open MPI are you using? (e.g., v4.1.6, v5.0.1, git branch name and hash, etc.)

Describe how Open MPI was installed (e.g., from a source/distribution tarball, from a git clone, from an operating system distribution package, etc.)

tar balls

If you are building/installing from a git clone, please copy-n-paste the output from git submodule status.

Please describe the system on which you are running

• Operating system/version: Debian 12
• Computer hardware: Ryzen 3
• Network type: Local

Details of the problem

Please describe, in detail, the problem that you are having, including the behavior you expect to see, the actual behavior that you are seeing, steps to reproduce the problem, etc. It is most helpful if you can attach a small program that a developer can use to reproduce your problem.

Note: If you include verbatim output (or a code block), please use a GitHub Markdown code block like below:

shell$ mpirun -n 2 ./hello_world

I dont know whats wrong. These are my configuration arguments:
../openmpi-5.0.5/configure --with-hwloc=internal --with-libevent=internal --with-pmix=internal --with-prrte=internal CFLAGS=-m64 FCFLAGS=-m64 --with-wrapper-cflags=-m64 --with-wrapper-cxxflags=-m64 --with-wrapper-fcflags=-m64 --prefix=/home/user/OpenMPI/Install --with-openib --without-udapi --enable-mca-dso --with-slurm --disable-shared --enable-static

OpenMPI will not build with external dependencies, as they are too old but, it still randomly links to system librarys. The system library itself will not build succesfully the examples or other MPI enabled programs. MPICH seems to work.

Sure but I think the errors come from oshmem.
I am using Debian 12. On ubuntu24 5.0.5 built fine.

The associated compiler wrappers wheren't being built but no obvious configuration error appeared until I forced the configuration of openshmem with --enable-openshmem. This yielded an error concerning an old version of of UCX so I built UCX forced the use of my build v1.17.0 and now the wrappers appeared and the examples seem to have been built.
The configure script for ucx and openmpi picks up random libraries from my path including from a Go installation which is something I would have hoped was controllable.

All the examples seem to run now. Having said that HYPRE examples won't run when bigint is enabled. I think this is specific to those examples as the PETSC examples work.

This is my configuration line.

../openmpi-5.0.5/configure --with-hwloc=internal --with-libevent=internal --with-pmix=internal --with-prrte=internal CFLAGS=-m64 FCFLAGS=-m64 --with-wrapper-cflags=-m64 --with-wrapper-cxxflags=-m64 --with-wrapper-fcflags=-m64 --prefix=/home/user/OpenMPI/Install --with-openib --without-udapi --enable-mca-dso --with-slurm --enable-oshmem --with-ucx=/home/user/OpenMPI/UCX/Install --enable-mca-no-build=btl-uct

The other dependencies where also out of date so I used the internal ones though I didn't find an option for UCX.
