Hi Gus,

Thank you for your reply, comments, and suggestions.

EC2 does have support, but it is with extra charge and I am
discouraged to use it for budgetary reasons.  Also, I have
heard that their support is a bit toward virtualization
and amazon environment specific.  I may have to override
all these and ask them for a help...

(Incidentally, I really like openmpi mailing list.  The
 atmosphere you people generate and sustain is quite wonderful
 and I hope one day I can be a contributing member.)

As to your suggestions:
1) This is a good idea.  I will do hostname via mpirun.  Increasing
   complexity from the simplest will probably reveal something I
   don't know.
2) I have run R serially on EC2 with this very ami.  I have not seen
   any problem and many others have done the same.

Also, here is an idea I came up in my sleep that I want to check
out.  The ami I have been using is a centos 5.5, which I have built
from ground up.  EC2 has something called Amazon Linux ami.  I
don't know what distribution that is and I am sure it doesn't have
R, nor openmpi.  But I thought I would load these components I
need to the Amazon Linux (again as you suggest by starting the
simplest case) and see if I can reproduce the behavior I have
been experiencing on different (and Amazon "official" ami).

I will report as I discover interesting/relevant finding.

Regards,

Tena
