In the case of Open MPI as shown above, there’s actually an easy fix:
telling Open MPI where to look for ‘orted’.
Assuming you created a pack with:
guix pack -RR openmpi intel-mpi-benchmarks bash-minimal -S /bin=bin
You can run code extracted from the tarball like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
export GUIX_EXECUTION_ENGINE=performance
salloc -N2 ./bin/mpirun -np 2 --launch-agent ./bin/orted \
--map-by node -x GUIX_EXECUTION_ENGINE=performance -- \
./bin/IMB-MPI1 PingPong
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The ‘--launch-agent’ trick allows us to work around the fact that exec’d
code escapes the fakechroot environment.
I’m closing this bug as “wontfix”.
