Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm able to get it to work now using the simpler config line suggested. I did not fully explain my setup but it turns out due to a mount error my machine was not seeing the new files in the rebuilt openmpi directory which was remotely mounted, so I kept getting the s

Hi John Doe Set these environment variables in your .profile/.bashrc or .[t]cshrc file. If you set them in the shell prompt, before you run the job, I am not sure they will propagate to the MPI processes, even if you are running in a standalone machine [which apparently you are]. Ralph may clari

Hi John Doe I would keep it very simple, particularly if you are just starting with MPI or OpenMPI. Why not this? ./configure --prefix=/opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4 You may also point to the compilers CC, CXX, F77. FC, for C, C++, Fortran-77 and Fortran-90, respectively , in case they are not in stand

Ok. That did help a bit. I now see that the /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi/ directory has .so files as well as the .la files. Unfortunately I still get the same error when I run i.e it complains about missing files in that directory even though those files are present with an .so or .la extension

Hi Ralph, I may have been a little promiscous in my use of build flags. My initial configure line was much simpler then I kept throwing in flags when it wouldn't run. I'll try to build it again with the your config line and see if that resolves the issue. Sam On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 11:11 AM, Ra

I don't understand your configure line - why did you give an argument to enable-shared?? That option doesn't take an argument, and may be causing the confusion. Also, enable-debug by default turns off optimization as otherwise the optimizer removes all debug symbols. If you want a debug version

Hi Gustavo, I do have /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the bin directory in my path as well but that didn't seem to help. Sam On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 5:18 PM, Gustavo Correa wrote: > Hi John Doe > > What you need to add to LD_LIBRARY_PATH is /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib > [note 'lib

Hi John Doe What you need to add to LD_LIBRARY_PATH is /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib [note 'lib' at the end]. Your email seems to say that you added /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi instead, if I understood it right. And to your PATH you need to add the corresponding 'bin' directory: /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4

I only invoked orted manually to see the error message, as it wasn't showing up on the node's monitor or the xterm window i used to run mpirun. And no, no prefix command, no aliases, no absolute path, environment variables set.

You should not be invoking orted manually -- getting errors when you invoke orted manually is probably to be expected. Can you answer the questions from my original mail? Thanks. On Mar 27, 2009, at 6:29 PM, Russell McQueeney wrote: Jeff Squyres wrote: > Hmm -- puzzling -- the error file y
