So processes are running - good. The hang might then be occurring in the tcp
wireup of mpi communications (ompi only lazily creates connections between
processes).
What is the tcp setup between the two machines? (Ipaddr, netmask, etc.) Do you
have any firewall software running?

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] mpirun works locally but not through network
Thanks for your suggestion !
"$ mpirun --host localhost,name_of_distant_machine hostname" works.
In fact, the simple programs that prints " I am process # " always works.
Problem arises only if there is communication between process which are lying
on two different computers.
I don't think it is a problem of ssh/rsh because it works well if i put only
name_of_distant_machine in the --host. Maybe because of the two computers are
virtuals and the network by default for mpirun is eth0 and not eth1 ?
Son.

I'm not intimately familiar with boost++ -- you might want to try the
"hello world" and "ring" example programs in the OMPI examples/ directory as a
baseline.
Additionally, try executing a non-MPI program such as "hostname" to
verify that your remote connectivity is working. For example:
$ mpirun --host localhost,name_of_distant_machine hostname
You should see the output of both "hostname" executions. If you don't,
check the process table and see if OMPI is trying to ssh or rsh over to the
remote host, and see what is happening on the remote host. E.g., is that rsh
or ssh being blocked? Or is it actually executing on the remote machine and
hanging? Or ...?
Ensure that you have the same version of OMPI installed on both
machines and that both are in your default search PATH for non-interactive
logins.
Once you get something like "hostname" to work, it's much more likely
that an MPI application will also work.
