Hi Amos This form perhaps? 'export PATH=/opt/openmpi/bin:$PATH' You don't want to wipe off the existing path, just add openmpi to it.
Also, Intel also has its shared libraries, which may be causing trouble. My guess is that you need to set the Intel environment first by placing a line more or less like this in your .bashrc/.cshrc file: source /path/to/intel/bin/ifortvars.sh (or ifortvars.csh depending on the shell you use) The Intel script will add the Intel bin and lib directories to your environment. Then on your .bashrc/.cshrc you pre-pend the OpenMPI bin and lib directories to your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH: export PATH=/opt/openmpi/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/openmpi/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH for bash, or 'setenv PATH /opt/openmpi/bin:$PATH', etc for csh. I hope this helps, Gus Correa On Mar 20, 2011, at 10:43 PM, Amos Leffler wrote: > Hi, > I have been having problems getting openmpi-1.4.3 with Linux > under SUSE 11.3.
