Hi Jeff,
Thanks. Unfortunately, that is basically the same source code from
ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/mpi/mpe/mpe2.tar.gz
where I had the issues with the conflicting declarations as Pavan talked about.
I could remove the deprecated routines as most of the problems are caused by them, but it looks like some non-deprecated routines also have the const issue, e.g.
visual_mess.c:560: error: conflicting types for 'MPI_Issend'
/u/hschilli/local/include/mpi.h:1543: error: previous declaration of 'MPI_Issend' was here
BTW, that repo for MPE doesn't appear to have a configure file. I know I could create it with autogen.sh but the INSTALL file doesn't say that. It just says run configure. Might be confusing for some people, I think!
Thanks for everyone's help

Hi Jeff,
Thanks. Pardon my ignorance but I I wanted to just use MPE with an existing OpenMPI installation and it's not clear to me ( even after searching and reading ), how to do that from the full MPICH code base at that repo. I can't really even find MPE in that code at all. What am I missing?
Thanks

Hi Jeff and Pavan,
Thanks for all the help on this. Jeff, when you have the fix up there, I can give it a shot!

Facepalm. Indeed, changing the header but not the implementation was pretty dumb on my part. I'll fix that tomorrow.
I have no opinion on the ABI situation, particularly since I know there are other folks that Intel that do.

Thanks, Jeff. The actual function definitions should be modified as well, which your patch seems to miss.
But I think the potentially time consuming part is to get buy-in from all the ABI consortium folks for this change. It doesn't exactly break ABI for applications, but will be an annoying change for tools. Ken is looking into this.

MPICH decided to follow the same convention as MPI_Type_create_struct with the const additions. Open MPI decided to keep the old prototypes as is.

We'll figure out what to do about that internally, but that's not going to be a quick change because of ABI and other such stuff.
