I have installed openMPI alpha 7 release. I created an MPI programs

calls concurrently with main thread. Things work fine . I use a TCP
network.
Some times i get a strange error message.

Sometimes i get this error message, and sometimes not. I can say in
a run of 7 i get once. But i get the output properly and the
program works fine. I just wanted to know why that occured?
We just released alpha 8, which should include a fix for a problem
that sounds very similar to what you are seeing. Can you try
upgrading and see if that solves your problem?
Another one, i tried to get verbose output from "mpirun", but
couldnt. Even "mpiexec". I was using the same command as
mpirun -v -np 6 myprogram in lam, i used to get the verbose saying
which process is running where. Here nothing happens.
What is the problem? Otherwise how can i know what process is
running on what node? Any suggestions??
We don't currently have a good way of dealing with this. You can get
lots of debugging information from the -d option to mpirun, but it
would be difficult to get exactly what you are looking for from the
debugging output.
Your best bet would probably be to use gethostname() and MPI_Comm_rank
() inside your MPI application and print the results to stdout / stderr.
