I don't know, but Ashley may be able to help - or you can see his web site for
instructions.
Alternatively, since you can put print statements into your code, have you
considered using mpirun's option to direct output from each rank into its own
file? Look at "mpirun -h" for the options.
-output-filename|--output-filename <arg0>
Redirect output from application processes into
filename.rank
