Package: libopenmpi2 Version: 2.1.1-4 Severity: important Tags: newcomer Dear Maintainer,
After upgrade to libopenmpi2_2.1.1-4_amd64, libopenmpi-dev_2.1.1-4_amd64 etc. my programs failed to compile because the compiler and linker (using mpicc and mpifort provided by libopenmpi-dev) could not locate MPI libraries. I found that several symlinks in /usr/lib/x86_64-linx-gnu were dead links: libmca_common_sm.so.20 libmpi_mpifh.so.20 libopen-pal.so.20 libopen-rte.so.20 By following the example of working links, I was able to manually set up the needed links pointing to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/lib/ and then link lib*.so.20 to those links. The commands (as root) were: ln -s openmpi/lib/libopen-pal.so.20.10.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopen-pal.so.20.10.1 ln -s libopen-pal.so.20.10.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopen-pal.so.20 ln -s openmpi/lib/libopen-rte.so.20.10.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopen-rte.so.20.10.1 ln -s libopen-rte.so.20.10.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopen-rte.so.20 ln -s openmpi/lib/libmca_common_sm.so.20.10.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmca_common_sm.so.20.10.1 ln -s libmca_common_sm.so.20.10.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmca_common_sm.so.20 ln -s openmpi/lib/libmpi_mpifh.so.20.11.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpi_mpifh.so.20.11.0 ln -s libmpi_mpifh.so.20.11.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpi_mpifh.so.20 After making those changes, my MPI programs compile, link, and execute normally. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.11.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libopenmpi2 depends on: ii libc6 2.24-12 ii libfabric1 1.4.0-1 ii libgcc1 1:7.1.0-7 ii libgfortran3 6.3.0-19 ii libhwloc-plugins 1.11.5-1 ii libhwloc5 1.11.5-1 ii libibverbs1 1.2.1-2 ii libpsm-infinipath1 3.3+19.g67c0807.open-3 ii libquadmath0 7.1.0-7 ii libstdc++6 7.1.0-7 Versions of packages libopenmpi2 recommends: ii openmpi-bin 2.1.1-4 libopenmpi2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
