Hello, I work for medium sized UK based ISV and am packaging open-mpi so that is can be made available as an option to our users, so far I've been very impressed by how smoothly things have gone but I've got one problem which doesn't seem to be covered by the FAQ.
We install openmpi to /opt/openmpi-1.2.5 and are using the modules command to select which mpi to use, the modules command correctly sets PATH to pick up mpicc and mpirun on the head node however the issue comes with running a job, users need to specify -prefix on the mpirun command line. Is there a way to specify this in the environment so I could make it happen automatically as part of the modules environment? I've searched the archives for this, the closest I can find is this exchange in 2006, if I specify a full path to mpirun then it does the right thing but is there a way to extend this functionality to the case where mpirun is run from path? http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2006/01/0480.php Yours, Ashley Pittman.
