Hello,
Well, actually I'm quite sure that it was not the firewall because I had to
turn it off as otherwise no connection could be established. So my
iptables --list
returns
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
on both machines. After reinstalling OMPI, I did not make any changes to the
firewall but now it works without problems. Probably installing the library
with exactly the same configuration (same --prefix and so on) did the trick.
But nonetheless, thank you very much for your hint! :-)
Best regards,
Manuel
