Thank you very much for the advice. Actually I'm running OpenFOAM (read: a program parallelized to run with Open MPI) from SLAX Live DVD, so the installation paths are identical, as well as everything else. I've added commands that set enviromental variables in .bashrc on both nodes, but you mention "common .bashrc". Common in what way? I'm sorry for newbish question, again, I'm supposed to be a Mechanical Engineer. :)))) OpenFOAM toolkit carries a separate directory for third-party support software. In this directory there are programs for postprocessing simulation results and analyze data and Open MPI. Therefore, in my case, Open MPI is built in a separate directory and the build is automated. After the build of both programs, there is a special bashrc located in some/path/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.5-dev/etc/ that sets all the variables needed to use Open FOAM, such as FOAM_TUTORIALS (where are the tutorials), FOAM_RUN (where is the working dir), WM_COMPILER (what compiler to use), etc. This bashrc also sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH so that locally installed Open MPI can be found. I've tried this installation on the Live DVD on my laptop with two cores, decomposed the case and ran the simulation in parallel without a problem. I hope this information is more helpful.
