[BProc] BProc and MPICH

[Jan H. <hue...@un...>]

I tried to install MPICH 1.2.6 on a bproc-4.0.0pre8 system
The configure was done with

--with-comm=bproc

When I compile I run into the following error

undefined reference to 'bproc_gethostbyname'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

After a few more errrors the compiling end unsuccessful.

Any help here would be appreciated.

BProc isn't a communication layer - it's a process management system.=20
Clusters running BProc use P4 or GM or whatever is appropriate with
mpich.  The trick with BProc is the process start up.  You'll need a
patched mpich and a special mpirun program.  This stuff is available
at www.clustermatic.org.  I suggest grabbing the packages from
Clustermatic 5.

Re: [BProc] BProc and MPICH

[Rene S. <rs...@tu...>]

Hi,

Is there just a patched mpich tar ball available for download?
I am not very familiar with building RPMS from source.

We installed the MPICH binary RPMS but they are not doing exactly what 
we want.  For example we would like to compile MPICH with the intel 
compilers and also add the intel fortran to mpif77.

Thanks
Rene

You can get the tar ball from the source rpm with the following command:

rpm -ivh <source rpm>

Then look in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES (or /usr/src/packages/SOURCES on SuSE)

Note that in general, source rpms will patch the original tarball.
To get a patched source from the source rpm you would follow 'rpm -i' with:

cd /usr/src/redhat
rpmbuild -bp SPECS/<package name>.spec

The bp options stand for build preparation stage.  You will find the
patched source in:

/usr/src/redhat/BUILD

You should also look in the spec file to see how the package is being built=
.

Finally, you should be able to use any compiler you want to with the
rpmbuild process and a proper spec file.  I highly recommend learning
more about rpms if you manage any number of systems.

rpm2cpio is handy too.  The tarballs won't be pre-patched but the
tarballs, patches and intstructions (in the form of an rpm spec file)
will be there.
