I have been trying to use Open MPI v1.5.1 with Boost MPI v1.45.0 but there are linkage issues when I am trying to build the final executable.

Has anyone used Open MPI with Boost MPI? If yes, what have been your versions? How did you build Open MPI sources -- did you use any specific options? The same problem happens again when I try use Microsoft MPI from their HPC Cluster Pack.

I believe that the precompiled Boost release that BoostPro provides is built against the HPC Cluster Pack. Have you've tried using their (1.44) binaries?

Also I keep getting unresolved symbols like _ompi_mpi_char, _ompi_mpi_byte during the linking. Any idea what's causing this?

During the linking of Boost.MPI while building it or when linking your code? If the latter, you probably need to link your MPI implementation as well. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
