I really appreciate the help.

Well, I generally prefer to follow upstream releases, and Jeff from the
upstream team echoed that. Let's wait for 1.2.4, shall we?

OTOH if you can back out a patch for 1.2.3, I'd apply that.

I'm confused. What is libc0.1-dev ?
 
Also note that I happened to have uploaded a third Debian revision of 1.2.3
yesterday, and that Debian release 1.2.3-3 built fine on amd as per:

http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=openmpi&ver=1.2.3-3&arch=amd64&file=log

So are we sure there's a bug?  Maybe you were just bitten by something in SVN
that is not yet deemed release quality?

| I'll keep you posted...

I appreciate that.

Cheers, Dirk
