One thing you might want to try is blowing away that prefix dir and reinstalling OMPI 1.3.1. I'm not confident that "make uninstall" does an adequate job of cleaning things out. The problem is that there are major differences between 1.2.x and 1.3.x, and the uninstall may well miss some things as a result.

Easy place to start, at least. ;-)

I regularly run jobs like that on 1.3.1 - it has no desire to use ssh to start anything. On a local host such as this command uses, all mpiexec does is fork/exec the procs.

That sounds strange. I'm just going back and forth between OpenMPI 1.2.9 and OpenMPI 1.3.1 by using make uninstall/make install, and I can always reproduce the behavior.

It sounds like something strange is going on in your environment that makes OMPI think it is launching on a remote host. Most likely cause is something in your Ethernet configuration. Can you send us the output of ifconfig (or whatever your equivalent is)?

Ok, here is some information on my system:
* Kubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) alpha 6
* Core Duo CPU
* I have compiled both OpenMPI versions (1.2.9 and 1.3.1) myself, using

configure --prefix=$HOME/software --enable-shared --enable-static

You need anything else?
