hello, i am running a 2.4.20 kernel on a single-processor pentium 4 machine. i installed mpich (output from dpkg -l):
ii libmpich1.0 1.2.5.2-1 mpich runtime shared library ii mpich 1.2.5.2-1 MPI parallel computing system implementation ii mpich-common 1.2.5.2-1 Manpages and other common files for mpich and have the required rsh packages: ii rsh-client 0.17-10 rsh clients. ii rsh-server 0.17-10 rsh servers. 'tstmachines' does not report any errors: > /usr/lib/mpich/sbin/tstmachines -v Trying true on localhost ... Trying ls on localhost ... Trying user program on localhost ... my entry in the list of machines is: > more /etc/mpich/machines.LINUX localhost (~/.rhosts is set accordingly). however, none of the testprograms below '/usr/share/doc/mpich/examples' (or any other 'hello world') works when run as follows: /usr/share/doc/mpich/examples/pi> mpirun -v -np 1 ./pi3 running /usr/share/doc/mpich/examples/pi/./pi3 on 1 LINUX ch_p4 processors Created /home/uhlmann/PI13135 ...and there it hangs. any hints? thanks, markus
