Hi, thanks, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been set, and I checked again, and I don't think there is a confict.
May I ask you a question, how do you normally configure your openmpi? I guess you will not use simply "./configure --prefix=blahblah", pls correct me if I am wrong. So, what is your procedure to check your system hardware and software background, so as to make openmpi correctly built. That's my question. And Thank you, Gus Zhigang Wei ------------ NatHaz Modeling Laboratory University of Notre Dame 112J FitzPatrick Hall Notre Dame, IN 46556 2010-07-08 发件人: Gus Correa 发送时间: 2010-07-08 10:07:13 收件人: Open MPI Users 抄送: 主题: Re: [OMPI users] configure options Hi Zhigang Are you talking about a run time failure? If you are, I think what is missing is just to set the PATH and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables to point to the OpenMPI directories. This can be done in your .[t]cshrc / .profile / .bashrc file in your home directory (assuming it is accessible by all computers that you're using to run the program). Hopefully it will override the default OpenMPI 1.3.2 in your HPC. See this FAQ: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#adding-ompi-to-path There are other ways to do it, which you can find with "man $MY_OWN_DIR/share/man/man1/mpiexec". (You could also set MANPATH to get the right man pages.) I hope this helps, Gus Correa --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gustavo Correa Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory - Columbia University Palisades, NY, 10964-8000 - USA --------------------------------------------------------------------- Zhigang Wei wrote: > Dear all, > > How can I decide the configure options?
