Hi all -

I have posted a beta release LAM/MPI 7.1.5 (beta 1) on the beta
download page. I'd appreciate any testing that people can provide, as
there is a change to the file descriptor passing code, which
historically has caused problems for various platforms. The release
can be downloaded from:

  http://www.lam-mpi.org/beta/

Complete change list from 7.1.4 is:

- Add gfortran to the list of Fortran compilers searched in configure.
- Work around apparent alignment issue in OS X 10.5's CMSG_DATA()
macro when compiling on Intel Macs in 64 bit mode, which would cause
mpirun to fail with stdio errors. Also properly initialize msg_flags
in the sfh_send_fd() and sfh_recv_fd() calls.
- Fix a number of places in configure where main() was being
improperly declared due to Autoconf's square bracket eating. Thanks
to Jeff Squyres for the patch.
- Add -Wl,-search_paths_first to wrapper LDFLAGS on OS X to combat
issue with OS X linker finding Open MPI's libmpi.dylib in /usr/lib
instead of LAM/MPI's libmpi.a due to the dynamic-first search policy.
- Fix Fortran interface functions for MPIL_Trace_on and MPIL_Trace_off.
- Clean up shared library dependencies to support use of --as-needed
linker option on GNU systems. Thanks to Justin Bronder for bringing
this to our attention.

If there is positive feedback, I will release in the not to distant
future.

Thanks,

Brian
