Description of problem: The RPM doesn't build the MPI version correctly. Specifically, the FindMPI package in cmake doesn't not find the MPI libraries and trying to get around this by just setting CXX=mpic++ does not work (it doesn't trigger the MPI specific build stuff). Also, because libraries for the two versions are currently being found through a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/, both versions cannot be installed at the same time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.1-6 How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install paraview-mpi 2. mpirun --mca btl self,sm -np 2 pvserver-mpi Actual results: You will get error messages indicating that the socket is already in use. That is because it launched two instances of pvserver-mpi and, as they are not talking to each other, they both try and grab the server socket. Expected results: -bash-3.1$ mpirun --mca btl self,sm -np 2 pvserver-mpi Listen on port: 11111 Waiting for client... Additional info: I've attached a patch that fixes the first of these problems. It does this by including the FindMPI package from the latest cmake as a patch and using it in the MPI build instead of trying to make things work through CXX=mpic++. It also corrects the launch command to not use mpirun (proper way with paraview 3). A possible solution for the second problem would be to re-enable install time rpaths (using $ORIGIN if it was desired to make the install re-rootable). Currently, users should not be allowed to install both MPI and non-MPI versions.
Created attachment 308746 [details] Patch to use FindMPI from latest cmake.
Thanks for the patch, it was very helpful. I'm building a new version here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=682447 In this version, the -mpi package only ships those binaries that make use of mpi and uses rpaths so that it can be installed along with the non-mpi version. After it builds I'll push to updates-testing.
I'm running into some problems compiling due to some changes in the HDF5 library. It will take a while to get them fixed.

Dunno why this shows up only now, but there's a multiarch broken dep in the F9 repos now. It seems you changed the package inter-dependencies, so paraview-mpi.i386 is no longer pulled in: source rpm: paraview-3.2.1-6.fc9.src.rpm package: paraview-mpi-3.2.1-6.fc9.i386 from fedora-9-x86_64 unresolved deps: paraview-data = 0:3.2.1-6.fc9
