All,

This seems like a chicken-and-the-egg problem that I'm not understanding. How do you build openmpi when it's makedepends requires valgrind, but you cannot build valgrind because it's makedepends requires openmpi??

Specifically:

$ cat /var/abs/extra/valgrind/PKGBUILD pkgname=valgrind ... makedepends=(gdb openmpi)

$ cat /var/abs/extra/openmpi/PKGBUILD pkgname=openmpi ... makedepends=(inetutils valgrind gcc-fortran)

Is there some type of trick?

This is why we have binary repos. Just install one and build the other.
