What is the update-alternatives bug and how does it manifest with
OpenMPI?
Just today I discovered that "mpicc" fails:
steve@riemann{alioth}mpicc
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.3/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
/home/aurel32/tmp/eglibc/eglibc-2.9/csu/../sysdeps/x86_64/elf/start.S:109: undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
It turned out that I had libmpich1.0-dev installed as well as OpenMPI
and the former was a higher priority than OpenMPI. Is that a
manifestation of the bug you mean? I solved it by configuring my
system to force OpenMPI. But that's not a general solution. How is
this to be solved?
Thanks,
-Steve
