RHBA-2013:1711 - compat-openmpi bug fix update

Synopsis

compat-openmpi bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated compat-openmpi packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The compat-openmpi packages contain shared libraries from earlier versions of Open Message Passing Interface (Open MPI). The libraries from previous releases have been compiled against the current version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and the packages enable earlier programs to keep functioning properly.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The compat-openmpi packages previously did not ensure compatibility with earlier versions of the Open MPI shared libraries. Consequently, the users failed to run certain applications using Open MPI on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 and later if those applications were compiled against Open MPI versions used on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 and earlier. After this update, the compat-openmpi packages now maintain compatibility with earlier versions of Open MPI on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. (BZ#876315)

Users of compat-openmpi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
