This machine runs a stock 2.4.18 kernel (with ia64 patchset). The filesystem is also mounted differently (noac): huey:/export/home/sp /home/sp nfs rw,sync,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,acregmin=0,acregmax=0,acdirmin=0,acdirmax=0,hard,intr,udp,noac,lock,addr=huey 0 0 The error I get here is : # Creating static library Linux2.ia64.gnu/libmpi.a ... # Creating shared library Linux2.ia64.gnu/libmpi.so ... /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Stale NFS file handle collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: *** [Linux2.ia64.gnu/libmpi.a] Error 1 Do you think the two different errors are related ?
