4.8.4. Run-time system support
The following are command line options for various runtime systems that
can be used with configure:
--enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default: This option forces thempiruncommand to always behave as if--prefix $prefixwas present on the command line (where$prefixis the value given to the--prefixoption to configure). This prevents mostrsh/ssh-based users from needing to modify their shell startup files to set thePATHand/orLD_LIBRARY_PATHfor Open MPI on remote nodes. Note, however, that such users may still desire to setPATH— perhaps even in their shell startup files — so that executables such asmpiccandmpiruncan be found without needing to type long path names.--with-alps: Force the building of for the Cray Alps run-time environment. If Alps support cannot be found, configure will abort.--with-lsf=DIR: Specify the directory where the LSF libraries and header files are located. This option is generally only necessary if the LSF headers and libraries are not in default compiler/linker search paths.LSF is a resource manager system, frequently used as a batch scheduler in HPC systems.
--with-lsf-libdir=DIR: Look in directory for the LSF libraries. By default, Open MPI will look inDIR/libandDIR/lib64, which covers most cases. This option is only needed for special configurations.--with-slurm: Force the building of Slurm scheduler support.--with-sge: Specify to build support for the Oracle Grid Engine (OGE) resource manager and/or the Open Grid Engine. OGE support is disabled by default; this option must be specified to build OMPI’s OGE support.The Oracle Grid Engine (OGE) and open Grid Engine packages are resource manager systems, frequently used as a batch scheduler in HPC systems. It used to be called the “Sun Grid Engine”, which is why the option is still named
--with-sge.--with-tm=DIR: Specify the directory where the TM libraries and header files are located. This option is generally only necessary if the TM headers and libraries are not in default compiler/linker search paths.TM is the support library for the Torque and PBS Pro resource manager systems, both of which are frequently used as a batch scheduler in HPC systems.
