I am new to Julia but not new to building from source code.  
After building a Julia ( which passes its make test ) I am trying to use  
MPIPreferences to set use my installed OpenMPI. The following commands  
seem to have worked to update Julia:  
julia --project -e ‘using Pkg; Pkg.add(“MPIPreferences”)’  
julia --project -e ‘using MPIPreferences; MPIPreferences.use\_system\_binary()’  
( although I am getting message  
Warning: could not download [https://pkg.julialang.org/registries](https://pkg.julialang.org/registries) and  
Error: curl\_easy\_getinfo: 43, 48, 48 )  
The use system binary()  
leaves output  
┌ Info: MPI implementation identified  
│ libmpi = “libmpi”  
│ version\_string = “Open MPI v4.1.3, package: Open MPI [wadedl@sequoia.iera-lj.com](mailto:wadedl@sequoia.iera-lj.com) Distribution, ident: 4.1.3, repo rev: v4.1.3, Mar 31, 2022\0”

Of course I do not WANT to build a NEW Open MPI but to have  
julia\> using MPI just use the MPI I have installed, as identified in the  
MPIPreferences use binary installed.

How do I set this up - what do I need to do to force julia to use my installed  
open-mpi as the MPI package - the documentation available I have read over  
now multiple times and tried adding Project.toml and LocalProject.toml and  
followed guidance to do this from numerous other users but I am stumped.

Would like to get Julia into my projects at work ( I am consulting to USGS )  
but have stumbled.

Please help

Good, but there’s nothing to compile from source here 🙂

> [@wadedl](#):
>

You’re running the command `julia --project`, so you’re activating a local environment?

Are you on an air-gapped system? That complicates things a bit.

> [@wadedl](#):
>

> /usr/local/bin/mpiexecc …

Are you sure you typed `mpiexecc` correctly? That’s an unusual name. In any case, if you want to specify a different MPI launcher executable you can pass the `mpiexec` keyword argument to [`use_system_binary`](https://juliaparallel.org/MPI.jl/stable/reference/mpipreferences/#MPIPreferences.use_system_binary):

```julia
MPIPreferences.use_system_binary(; mpiexec="mpiexecc")

```

or

```julia
MPIPreferences.use_system_binary(; mpiexec="/usr/local/bin/mpiexecc")

```

if you really want to specify the absolute path of the executable, instead of relying on it being the first one to be found in `PATH`. Same for libmpi: `libmpi` is the correct basename to dlopen `/usr/local/lib/libmpi.so`, if that’s the first libmpi that the dynamical linker would find, but if you want to specify the absolute path to be absolutely clear you can do it:

```julia
MPIPreferences.use_system_binary(; library_names=["/usr/local/lib/libmpi.so"])

```

Note that nothing is _ **building** _ a new OpenMPI, what the package manager is trying to do is to download a Julia package which is a thin wrapper around OpenMPI, so your worry is ill-posed.

But now we’re back to the question above: do you have access to the Internet at all?

Side note, since you’re new here: it’d be extremely helpful if you [quoted the code](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-how-to-quote-code-with-backticks/7530) that you copy here with triple backquotes, like this:

````julia
```
put
some
code
here
```

````

which you can achieve also by selecting the code and clicking the `</>` button in the editing toolbar. You may also want to read [Please read: make it easier to help you](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/please-read-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757).

Thank you giordano - I typed mpiexecc but of course I meant mpiexec.  
My OpenMPI is installed from source - I build into an environment which  
may be somewhat unusual - but I build into a path identified for differing  
purposes - so my parallel programming languages are all installed in  
/usr/local/parallel/programming/library/tools/openmpi-4.1.3  
All the proper folders/libraries/executables from bin etc include lib and share  
are then symbolically linked into the proper place in /usr/local - i.e.  
/usr/local/lib/libmpi.so.40.30.3 → …/parallel/programming/library/tools/openmpi-4.1.3/lib/libmpi.so.40.30.3  
/usr/local/lib/libmpi.so → ./libmpi.so.40.30.3  
Because each of the folders in /usr/local for different types of things can if need be mounted ( linux direct mounts ) for a different server ( i.e. a server ( or server partition just for programming languages ( i.e.  
/usr/local/software/development/tools  
is mounted from server\_software\_development\_tools and mounts  
/usr/local/software/development/tools/julia-1.8.5  
/usr/local/software/development/tools/Python-3.10.4  
/usr/local/software/development/tools/GCC\_11.2.0  
/usr/local/software/development/tools/cmake-3.23.1  
and  
server\_parallel\_programming\_library\_tools mounts  
/usr/local/parallel/programming/library/tools/openmpi-4.1.3

Then folders and libraries and executables are symbolically linked back to where they would appear if installed directly in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/etc, /usr/local/share etc etc. This all dates back to a time when I  
system administers and HPC lab where I could mount and unmount different  
kinds of things for different departments - all before modules came along …

This is immaterial ( or should be ) to what Julia expects to see because when  
MPIpreferences goes out to look it indicates it correctly has found the library  
and executable in the right place.

Its just that when the Pkg.add(“MPI”) or using MPI tries to go out and fetch  
as you say ) the wrapper around my OpenMPI the build aborts with the messages  
Downloaded artifact: OpenMPI

and I have a stacktrace.

I tired to edit the .toml file so it would pick up the gzipped tar from a local repository using the file://… … URL - but I’m not sure I put such in the right  
plcae because the curl git kept trying to go out to the Web -

If you know or can find out how I can get access to the proper Julia repo site  
( I am coming in from an ISP and have turned off my browser firewall but still get the errors ) I would truly appreciate.

I will continue to take to heart what you have said and hope to report success.

I am turning over this work to the sys admin people at the Advanced Research Computing group at USGS and on my system there I may have better luck - I’ve  
been doing this for myself - for my own professional development.

THank You!

I can myself download the gzipped wrapper files from github. If I put them somewhere, how would I tell the  
/home/wadedl/.julia/packages/OpenMPI\_jll/AbWrR/Artifacts.toml  
file where to find them? ( i.e URL is [http://file](http://file): … … … )  
Thank you for your attention to this.
