The .bashrc on your master is not run, therefore there are no echos. Let's revise once more so that we're sure we understand each other :-)
On your master - on the computer you run "mpirun" - you put these 2 lines into your own .bashrc: export PATH=$PATH:/openMPI/bin export LD_RUN_FLAG=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/openMPI/lib These 2 lines are in /home/tomislav/.bashrc (supposing your user is tomislav). On each of your node you can leave .bashrc files. Try putting this line in them: echo $PATH Again, this file is /home/tomislav/.bashrc. It must be the same file. Or if you don't have that file on your nodes, the system-wide bashrc file should be run, which is - I think - /etc/bash.bashrc. Now, when you run the command: ssh node1 echo $PATH It should print two lines: 1st should be the executed command which should print out new PATH, 2nd should be the command in the node's .bashrc file, which should be the reduced PATH. Anyway, let's try something: $ echo $PATH $ ssh node1 echo $PATH node1$ echo $PATH This should print out 3 lines, your master PATH twice and then the reduced PATH once. Let me know how that went.
