Just wondering if anyone can shed some light into an issue we are having with compat-openmpi after upgrading CentOS to version 6.5
Some of our cluster applications are dependent on an older version of OpenMPI, so we are using compat-openmpi. Up to CentOS 6.4 this was version 1.4.3:
% /usr/lib64/compat-openmpi/bin/mpirun -V mpirun (Open MPI) 1.4.3
but after the upgrade to CentOS 6.5 it suddenly reports version 1.5.3: % /usr/lib64/compat-openmpi/bin/mpirun -V mpirun (Open MPI) 1.5.3
But rpm/yum still reports that version 1.4.3 is installed:
% rpm -qv compat-openmpi compat-openmpi-1.4.3-1.1.el6.x86_64
Is this deliberate, or has someone erred?
from the changelog: * Wed Aug 14 2013 Jay Fenlason fenlason@redhat.com 1.4.3-2 * Also include 1.5.3 libraries so users of RHEL-6.5+ can run programs compiled on RHEL-6.2- Resolves: rhbz876315
* Thu Oct 13 2011 Jay Fenlason fenlason@redhat.com 1.4.3-1 - New compat package to make users of openmpi-1.4 on RHEL-6 happy. Resolves: rhbz741009
so the support for 1.5.3 is on purpose, no idea if both 1.4.3 and 1.5.3 should be both available at the same time, or if the support for 1.5.3 is also backward compatible with 1.4.3. I would need to search ;)
