[mpich-discuss] statically linked mpiexec

[Andy May]

Ken,

Thanks, that improves things such that the number of shared libraries 
being referenced decreases, but it's still not quite there yet:

./configure --with-device=ch3:nemesis --with-pm=hydra CFLAGS=-static 
--disable-shared

ldd ../install/bin/mpiexec
         linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff435fe000)
         libnsl.so.1 => /lib64/libnsl.so.1 (0x00007fc8c4d2a000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fc8c4a27000)
         libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fc8c4809000)
         libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fc8c45f2000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fc8c4243000)
         libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fc8c403f000)
         /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fc8c4f42000)

I tried also adding 'LDFLAGS=-static' too, it doesn't change anything. 
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andy
