Had to go back into the deep, dark archives and look at the source code to
address this. :-)
Your understanding is correct - ompi should see those envars and automatically
use xgrid.
I don't see anything in the source code beyond those variables described in the
reference you provided. You cou
To be more specific.
I have a working xgrid with the envirnment variables set. In
particular I can run xgrid commands from the shell prompt like this:
xgrid -job submit /bin/hostname
and it runs because the enviroment variables are set.
my understanding is that openMPI will look for those
If you want, you can upgrade to the last release in the 1.2 series from the
www.open-mpi.org web site. Anything in 1.2 will work - just not beyond.

You have to set two environment variables (XGRID_CONTROLLER_HOSTNAME and

fine locally but it never finds the xgrid.

Where did you see that 1.5 works with xgrid? That support has been broken since
the 1.2 series, unfortunately, so it would help to ensure we don't have stale
docs out there to the contrary.
As for the 1.2 results, you are aware (I imagine) that OSX ships with the last
1.2 release already instal
I'm new to openMPI. I'm trying to set it up for using xgrid. I have read
that v1.3 and v1.4 are broken on OSX 10.5 and 10.6 although I have seen
some discussions in the archives of this mail list saying some people have
v1.4 running on 10.6.
I have now compiled both openMPI 1.2 and openMPI1.5rc
