FWIW, you might not want to comment out this line, but rather move up
any OMPI setup to *before* this line (so that it is processed both
during interactive and non-interactive logins).
The check for a non/interactive login may well be there for a reason;
there may well be things past that line that are really only suitable
for interactive logins. YMMV.

Hi,
Have you checked the .bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc file on the
machine. We have seen this problem before on both Debian and Ubuntu
systems. If you find the following line:
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
It means that the remainder of the file is not processed (which may
include setting up your PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH) if you are connecting
via a non-interactive login. Since this command only works for non-
interactive logins the user falsely gets the idea that the PATH/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH when they log in over SSH.
We commented this line out and it worked for us, so just an idea.

you're using the "right" mpirun. If you have both MPICH and
Open MPI installed, you need to install them into the different
directories.
As for not finding the "orted" on the remote nodes, it simply means
that your PATH / LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set properly on the remote
nodes. See:
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#run-prereqs
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#adding-ompi-to-path
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#mpirun-prefix
A few notes about your command line syntax:
- "-np X" specifies how many processes to launch (where X is an
integer). If you don't specify this, OMPI defaults to as many slots
are defined in your hostfile.
mpirun -np 4 ....
- "--host LIST", where LIST is a comma-delimited list of hostnames to
launch on (*instead* of specifying a hostfile).
mpirun --host host1,host2,host3,host4 ....
- "--hostfile FILENAME", where FILENAME is a list of a hostfile as
described in the FAQ.
mpirun --hostfile my_hostfile.txt ...
You can't mix and match these params, like your example:
mpirun --host -np 2 node0,node1 /bin/hostname
