I have found the "examples". Should they be compiled? how? This is my
only question here. What's below is info. Although amber parallel
would have not compiled with faulty openmpi, I'll run openmpi tests as
soon as I understand how.

which mpirun
/usr/local/bin/mpirun

there is no other accessible MPI (one application, DOT2, has mpich but
it is a static compilation; DOT2 parallelizatuion requires thar the
computer knows itself, i.e." ssh hostname date" should afford the date
passwordless. The reported issues in testing amber have destroyed this
situation: now deb64 has port22 closed, evem to itself.

With amber I use the parallel computer directly and the amber
installation is chown to me. The ssh connection, in this case, only
serves to get file from. or send files to, my desktop.

In my .bashrc:

(for amber)
MPI_HOME=/usr/local
export MPI_HOME

(for openmpi)
if [ "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ] ; then
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH'/usr/local/lib"
else
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib"
fi


There is also

MPICH_HOME=/usr/local
export MPICH_HOME

this is for DOCK, which, with this env variabl, accepts openmpi (at
lest it was so with v 1.2.6)

the intel compilers (compiled ifort and icc, are sourced in both my
.bashrc and root home .bashrc.

Thanks and apologies for my low level in these affairs. It is the
first time I am faced by such problems, with amd64, same intel
compilers, and openmpi 1.2.6 everything was in order.
