Hi Jorge,
This is interesting. The problem is the universe name:
root@(none):default-universe
The "(none)" part is supposed to be the hostname where mpirun is executed. Try
running:
hostname
and:
uname -n
These should both return valid hostnames for your machine.
Open MPI pretty much assumes that all nodes have a valid (preferably unique)
hostname. If the above commands don't work, you probably need to fix your
cluster.
Let me know if this does not work.
Thanks,
Tim
