While I don't use OpenMPI, I do compile quite a few source rpms and distribute them to my systems. It probably wouldn't be hard to build rpms from the SRPMS with the option your looking for. Probably would want to adjust the version so it's high enough that yum will never replace it. In Debian you can put a package on 'hold' so it won't get updated, I haven't found an equivalent in RPM/yum. Probably not worth filing a bug with Red Hat, they won't do anything with it likely until RHEL 6. By then they may decide to include it anyways(not knowing what OpenMPI or Torque support is off the top of my head I don't know how likely this would be). nate
