Hi,
I looked for any folders with 'lam', and found 2, under /usr/lib/lam and
/etc/lam. I don't know if it means LAM was previously installed, because my PC
also has /usr/lib/lam, although the contents are different. I renamed the 2
folders, and got the "*** Oops -- I cannot open the LAM help file." error below
instead.
I tried 'whichexec', and it gave me /usr/bin/mpiexec. I checked the mpiexec
there and it's actually a Perl script, and I believe I installed OpenMPI in
/usr/lib64/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/
So I tried mpirun instead and it gave me the following message:
"*** Oops -- I cannot open the LAM help file.
*** I tried looking for it in the following places:
***
*** $HOME/lam-helpfile
*** $HOME/lam-7.0.6-helpfile
*** $HOME/etc/lam-helpfile
*** $HOME/etc/lam- 7.0.6-helpfile
*** $LAMHELPDIR/lam-helpfile
*** $LAMHELPDIR/lam-7.0.6-helpfile
*** $LAMHOME/etc/lam-helpfile
*** $LAMHOME/etc/lam-7.0.6-helpfile
*** $SYSCONFDIR/lam-helpfile
*** $SYSCONFDIR/lam- 7.0.6-helpfile
***
*** You were supposed to get help on the program "MPI"
*** about the topic "no-lamd"
***
*** Sorry!"
Firstly, how do I change the settings such that mpiexec points to the mpiexec
in my installation folder, which I believe should be
/usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/bin/mpiexec, and the mpiexec there seems to be a
shortcut that points to /usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/bin/orterun. Would this
help? While I'm at it, it seems that mpirun, which is /usr/bin/mpirun
currently, should also point to /usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/bin/mpirun, which
also is a shortcut to /usr/lib/openmpi/1.2.5-gcc/bin/orterun.
Thank you.
Regards,
Rayne
