I installed openmpi 1.1.2 on two 686 boxes runing ubuntu 6.10. Followed the instructions given in the FAQ. Nevertheless, I get the following message:
[bernie-1:05053] ERROR: A daemon on node 192.168.1.113 failed to start as expected. [bernie-1:05053] ERROR: There may be more information available from [bernie-1:05053] ERROR: the remote shell (see above). [bernie-1:05053] ERROR: The daemon exited unexpectedly with status 127. now, I've been browsing the web, including the mailing lists, and it appears that the error should be that I have not declared the variables export PATH="/usr/local/openmpi/bin:${PATH}" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/openmpi/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" at the node, wich I have. I have even created all the posible folders proposed at the FAQ for remote loggins, although I'm using bash. If I do a ssh user@remote_node, I can connect without being asked for a password, and if I type mpif90, I get: "gfortran: no input files", wich should mean that indeed the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are being updated on the remote logging. But, if I do: bash$ mpirun --prefix /usr/local/openmpi -np 2 prueba.bin the result is: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Failed to find the following executable: Host: bernie-3 Executable: prueba.bin Cannot continue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- mpirun noticed that job rank 0 with PID 0 on node "192.168.1.113" exited on signal 4. I've been looking around, but have not been able to find what does the signal 4 means. Just in case, I was running an example program wich runs fine at my university cluster. Nevertheless, decided to run an even simpler one, wich I include, for it may be that the error is there (I definitly hope not!...) program test use mpi implicit none integer :: myid,sizze,ierr call MPI_INIT(ierr) call MPI_COMM_SIZE(MPI_COMM_WORLD,sizze,ierr) call MPI_COMM_RANK(MPI_COMM_WORLD,myid,ierr) print *,"I'm using ",sizze," processors" print *,"of wich I'm the number ",myid call MPI_FINALIZE(ierr) end program test This is the first time I have installed -and use- any parallel programing program or library, and I'm doing it as a personal proyect for a graduate curse, so any help will be greatly appreciated!
