Can not install OpenMPI

Hello

I want to use openmpi for a build but I can not install it because it wants to download 216MB onto my server

# pacman -S openmpi

Why the heck is it trying to install wayland and all the graphic crap?

Re: Can not install OpenMPI

Openmpi depends on hwloc, which in turn depends on cairo, which pulls in mesa and tons of other stuff. And it doesn't download 216MB, just 37.

Re: Can not install OpenMPI

Because it requires hwlock, which requires cairo. If you don't want all of that, I'd first check to see if you could build hwlock without cairo.

Hmm...how could I do that? Build from source?

Yup.
Edit the PKGBUILD https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … es/openmpi
You have to remove the '--with-hwloc=/usr \' and hwloc from the dependencies.

Re: Can not install OpenMPI

Or use hwloc (use ABS) and don't use cairo:

  --disable-cairo         Disable the Cairo back-end of hwloc's lstopo command
