This usually indicates a mismatch of MPI installations - eg, you compiled against one MPI installation but then accidentally used the mpirun from a different MPI installation.

I just installed OpenMPI on my Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit computer. I
downloaded the most recent version of OpenMPI and ran the configure and make
commands.
I then tried to run a CFD software called FDS using 2 of the 12 available
processors (single node) as a test. I split my computational domain into two
meshes, as explained in the FDS manual and would like to run each mesh on a
separate core.
When I run the command mpirun -np 2 fds5_mpi_linux_64 room_fire.fds I get
the following error:
Process 0 of 0 is running on comp1
Process 0 of 0 is running on comp1
Mesh 1 is assigned to Process 0
Error: MPI_PROCESS greater than total number of processes
Why are two instances of the same process run instead of two separate
processes? What I expect to see after running the above command is:
Process 0 of 1 is running on comp1
Process 1 of 1 is running on comp1
Mesh 1 is assigned to Process 0
Mesh 2 is assigned to Process 1
...
Any idea what is going on? Thanks for the help.
Kind Regards,

Hi Clark
Any chances that MPI_PROCESS was not properly set in your FDS parameter
file?
I am not familiar to the FDS software, but it looks like MPI_PROCESS is
part of the FDS setup, and the error message seems to complain
of a mismatch w.r.t. the number of processes (-np 2).
Maybe it takes a default value.
Also, if you just want to check your OpenMPI functionality, download
the OpenMPI source code, compile (with mpicc) and run (with mpirun)
the hello_c.c, connectivity_c.c, and ring_c.c programs in the 'examples'
directory. This will at least tell you if the problem is in OpenMPI or
in FDS.
My two cents,
Gus Correa
