[Paraview] Cannot compile 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with OpenMPI 1.8.1

[Wadud Miah]

Hello Victor,

I think you need to link it with the shared MPI library, i.e. libmpi.so, and not the static library. You need to specify the shared object file during cmake.

Regards,
Wadud.

I still cannot compile Paraview. I attempted to recompile openmpi-1.8.1 with fPIC but something is causing either the fPIC to be set incorrectly or I am doing something wrong. In any case I am completely stuck so I would really appreciate some help in traversing this error:

Linking CXX shared library ../../../lib/libvtkParallelMPI-pv4.1.so<http://libvtkParallelMPI-pv4.1.so>
/usr/bin/ld: /opt/openmpi-1.8.1/lib/libmpi.a(comm_init.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `ompi_comm_f_to_c_table' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/opt/openmpi-1.8.1/lib/libmpi.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

make[1]: *** [VTK/Parallel/MPI/CMakeFiles/vtkParallelMPI.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2


The latest openmpi configure command was: ./configure --with-sge --with-mx=/opt/open-mx --with-pic --with-mx-libdir=/opt/open-mx/lib --prefix=/opt/openmpi-1.8.1

I also attempted to manually set -fPIC flag by editing the Makefile and by setting a global CCFLAG. Nothing worked.

Here it is, I hope. I never attempted to attach anything to a mailing list post so I apologize if it doesn't actually attach.

Can you post your CMakeCache.txt file?
