This type of error *usually* indicates a programming error, but in this case, it's so non-specific that it's not entirely clear that this is the case.
The Vasp code seems to be not entirely open, so I can't try this myself. Can you try running vasp through a debugger and putting a breakpoint in MPI_Cart_create? The routine itself is not very long -- you should be able to step through it and see where it is generating this error. Having a back trace of where this error is occurring would be extremely helpful in diagnosing the real problem. > -----Original Message----- > From: users-boun...@open-mpi.org > [mailto:users-boun...@open-mpi.org] On Behalf Of Brock Palen > Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 2:38 PM > To: Open MPI Users > Subject: [OMPI users] Errors with MPI_Cart_create > > I have build vasp (http://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/vasp/) for a user > using openMPI-1.0.2 with teh PGI 6.1 compilers, At runtime I am > getting the following OMPI errors, > > bash-3.00$ mpirun -np 2 vasp > running on 2 nodes > [nyx.engin.umich.edu:16167] *** An error occurred in MPI_Cart_create > [nyx.engin.umich.edu:16167] *** on communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD > [nyx.engin.umich.edu:16167] *** MPI_ERR_OTHER: known error not in list > [nyx.engin.umich.edu:16167] *** MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL (goodbye) > > > This is regular OMPI error messages, is this a problem with the > build?
