Comment (by jfrieben@…):
It seems that
pkg-config --modversion hwloc < '1.6'
is not the correct way to perform the version check; for the current stable version 1.10.0, the configure script erroneously concludes that 1.10.0 < 1.6 leading to the following complaint:
Running configuration script for thorn HWLOC: hwloc selected, but HWLOC_DIR not set. Checking some places... Found hwloc in /usr hwloc too old (require at least version 1.6) Using bundled hwloc...
Rebuilding hwloc from the included sources is undesirable when a complete hwloc package provided by the OS vendor is already installed on the system.
