I'm unable to CC the author of the commit (284aa9e1c3218b1de8c25f6ae51e7c92d6ec7c20) because the author's email is not registered to this bugzilla

This is fixed upstream in https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/9701

[Comment 4 matoro 2024-02-21 16:18:16 UTC]

Also requires this giant patch:  https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/7428

[Comment 5 matoro 2024-02-21 17:29:29 UTC]

None of these apply cleanly, best option seems to be to updates to 5.0.2, but it's failing for me due to being unable to find libltdl for some reason.

[Comment 6 Agostino Sarubbo 2024-07-12 06:42:34 UTC]

ci has reproduced this issue with version 5.0.3 - Updating summary.

Can you share the log for 5.0.3 please?

Oh, I see, releases are made off of 5.0.x branch which does not have the fix.  Let me request it be backported.

[Comment 11 matoro 2024-07-15 15:19:17 UTC]

Actually, scratch that, I just saw this was in fact backported in https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/9702 and it is in the 5.0.3 tag.  Can you share config.log and final configure script?

[Comment 12 Agostino Sarubbo 2024-07-15 15:21:12 UTC]

I can but I think you should be able to reproduce with -native-symlinks

Thanks, that helped.  I see now that it was removed from the main repo, but there is still a check in the prte submodule: https://github.com/openpmix/prrte/blob/master/config/prte_check_ident.m4
