Jay found a bug in how mpicc links to the ROMIO library. As such, we are
releasing LAM/MPI 6.5.3 to fix this and a few other small bugs. The main
web site has been updated; the mirrors will get copies within the next 24
hours.
CVS users can "cvs update" to get a copy of all the latest changes.
In general, the bugs fixed in this release are relatively small and mainly
have to do with building/installing LAM. If you have a working version of
LAM, there is probably little reason to upgrade.
>From the HISTORY file, here are the bugs that are fixed in 6.5.3:
-----
- The ROMIO library was being installed under the wrong name. This
was a problem because mpicc/mpif77 check for the presence of the
library before linking to them with -l. Hence, mpicc/mpif77
effectively ignored the ROMIO library, even if LAM was compiled with
ROMIO support. Thanks to Jay for bringing this to our attention.
- The LAM-specific MPIL_* man pages are now installed properly.
Thanks to Aaron Fein for pointing out this problem.
- Fixed some problems with ROMIO's build/installation procedure when
using a VPATH build. libmpio.a was previously built in the source
tree, not the build tree (among other things).
- Fixed an issue with duplicate symbols when compiling either of the
shmem RPIs as shared libraries with some linkers. Thanks to Ferenc
Tamas Gyurcsan and Camm Maguire for pointing this out.
- If $prefix is /usr and we're not building LAM, don't -I/usr/include
and -L/usr/lib in hcc/hf77. This causes problems for some linux
distrubitions, because it disrupts the natural search order of
include/library directories (particularly when mixed with C++ header
files). Thanks to Trond Eivind Glomsrod for pointing this out.
