[openib-general] segfault on openib mvapich

[Sacerdoti, Federico]

I found my problem, which had to do with incorrect library loading
(LD_LIBRARY_PATH). There was a different mvapich (0.9.5) being loaded
instead of the new one. Perhaps a version check with a nice error
message could help in the future.

However, mvapich gen2 works just fine according to my preliminary tests.

Thanks for your help,
-Federico

FYI, we are also running the latest version successfully on multiple
platforms (IA32, Opetron and EM64T) of different sizes.  We are also
able to run applications successfully.

To the best of our knowledge, many other organizations are also
running mvapich-gen2 successfully on their platforms.

As Roland indicates, could you please provide more details on the
platform, OpenIB version (kernel, userlib), and the errors you are
getting. This will help to debug the problem further and faster.

We at OSU are monitoring the OpenIB list for mvapich-gen2 related
questions and are answering them. In addition, if you can send a copy
to mvapich-help at cse.ohio-state.edu (not mvapich_request), we will be
able to respond even faster.

Thanks,
