Hi Gustavo, thank you for the response.
I have been using Linux for only a couple years so I'm not very familiar
with ssh. However, i followed the instructions on this site:
https://source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/wiki/Configure_ssh_for_MPI
and I can ssh into the remote machine without a password prompt. (At least,
if I enter ssh 192.168.0.6 into the command line it does not ask me for one,
and I can then run commands on the remote cpu.)
as for etc/hosts, again not exactly familiar with it, but on both machines
the files are unchanged and have only an entry for localhost and the local
machine's name, and are otherwise identical.
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 <machine name>
I have installed open mpi packages on both machines.
running the command ( mpirun -np ${whatever} hostname)
returns my local machine's name.
I have read most of the faq that seemed pertinent, including running,
compiling, and troubleshooting sections. I am making no progress, and I
don't have much to go on sine the error message doesn't provide anything
useful.
