I recently built and installed openmpi on my 64 bit linux machine running centOS 6. However whenever I try mpirun I get the error message:
[[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Not found in file runtime/orte_init.c at line 125 orte_ess_base_select failed Actually here's the full error transcript: ==================================================================================================== >> mpiexec -n 4 object/a.out [ellipse:01480] mca: base: component_find: unable to open /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi/mca_paffinity_linux: file not found (ignored) [ellipse:01480] mca: base: component_find: unable to open /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi/mca_carto_auto_detect: file not found (ignored) [ellipse:01480] mca: base: component_find: unable to open /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi/mca_carto_file: file not found (ignored) [ellipse:01480] mca: base: component_find: unable to open /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi/mca_ess_env: file not found (ignored) [ellipse:01480] mca: base: component_find: unable to open /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi/mca_ess_hnp: file not found (ignored) [ellipse:01480] mca: base: component_find: unable to open /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi/mca_ess_singleton: file not found (ignored) [ellipse:01480] mca: base: component_find: unable to open /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi/mca_ess_slurm: file not found (ignored) [ellipse:01480] mca: base: component_find: unable to open /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi/mca_ess_tool: file not found (ignored) [ellipse:01480] [[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Not found in file runtime/orte_init.c at line 125 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is likely to abort. There are many reasons that a parallel process can fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or environment problems. This failure appears to be an internal failure; here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an Open MPI developer): orte_ess_base_select failed --> Returned value Not found (-13) instead of ORTE_SUCCESS -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================================================= Here are the configure options I used to build openmpi: ./configure --prefix=/opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4 CC=gcc -m64 CXX=g++ -m64 FC=gfortran -m64 F77=gfortran -m64 CFLAGS=-O2 -g CXXFLAGS=-O2 -g FCFLAGS=-O2 -g FFLAGS=-O2 -g --enable-debug --enable-shared=gcc --with-valgrind=/opt/valgrind --with-devel-headers --enable-mem-profile --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default --enable-memchecker Does anyone have any idea what these errors are. I tried recompiling with the --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default flag. Also while those files e.g mca_ess_tool are not found, the static versions e.g mca_ess_tool.a and mca_ess_tool.la exist in the /opt/ompi/gnu/1.4.4/lib/openmpi directory. I've also tried adding that directory to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH but still get the same error. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Sam
