Install OpenMPI from repository with GCC instead of Intel

Question

I would like to install openmpi from repository and need to use it with GCC. The problem is I have installed intel libraries too and it causes problems like this:

mpicc.openmpi --version
mpicc.openmpi: error while loading shared libraries: libimf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Version of my GCC is:

gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.2) 5.4.0 20160609

I'm trying to install openmpi with following command:

sudo aptitude install  openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev

So, how can I install OpenMPI from repositories in the way which would ignore intel libraries and use only GCC?

I've installed intel package Intel® Parallel Studio XE | Intel® Software manually (i.e., ./install_gui.sh).

EDIT 2

I tried to reinstall OpenMPI with

sudo apt-get install --reinstall openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev

and with

sudo apt-get purge openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev
sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev

but none of them had the desired effect, library still links against intel libraries.

Intel libraries are located in /opt/intel.

Solution

• As it seems, the Intel mpicc.openmpi overwrote the official one from repository or one of its linked libraries.

  Here is my output of a official install from repository:

    ~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi
    libopenmpi-dev: /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi
  
    ~$ ldd /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffd785f4000)
        libopen-pal.so.13 => /usr/lib/libopen-pal.so.13 (0x00007ff1d848d000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007ff1d8270000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007ff1d7ea6000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007ff1d7ca2000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007ff1d7a9a000)
        libutil.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libutil.so.1 (0x00007ff1d7896000)
        libhwloc.so.5 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhwloc.so.5 (0x00007ff1d765c000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000056499326f000)
        libnuma.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnuma.so.1 (0x00007ff1d7450000)
        libltdl.so.7 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libltdl.so.7 (0x00007ff1d7246000)
  

  It does not relay on those missing libraries.

• To fix it you can reinstall libopenmpi:

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev
  

• Also notice /usr/local/lib/libopen-pal.so.13. It's in /usr/local/lib/ folder so it has higher priority then official one in /usr/lib/, compatibility may be broken.

  Check for all sub-versions using

    ls -l /usr/local/lib/libopen-pal.so.13*
  

  then rename them, example

    sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libopen-pal.so.13 /usr/local/lib/libopen-pal.so.13.backup

Could you edit the question and add which intel libs did you install and how did you install them? Also the output of which mpicc.openmpi; ldd $(which mpicc.openmpi)

[Alexandros Markopoulos]

@user.dz I've added info into my question.

[Alexandros Markopoulos]

I added more details into my question.

[user.dz]

@AlexandrosMarkopoulos, could you add output of ls -l /usr/bin/mpicc.openmpi /usr/bin/opal_wrapper; apt-cache policy openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev

[Alexandros Markopoulos]

I added other details into my question.

[user.dz]

@AlexandrosMarkopoulos, it could due to this library /usr/local/lib/libopen-pal.so.13, check for all versions ls -l /usr/local/lib/libopen-pal.so.13* then rename them example sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libopen-pal.so.13 /usr/local/lib/libopen-pal.so.13.backup

[Alexandros Markopoulos]

Great! Finally, it works. Could you, please, add this info to your answer, so I could accept it?

[user.dz]

@AlexandrosMarkopoulos, nice, i've updated it.
