Hi,
The only example that works is hello_c.c. All others (that use MPI_Send and
MPI_Recv)(connectivity_c.c and ring_c.c) block after the first MPI_Send /
MPI_Recv (although the first Send/Receive pair works well for all
processes, subsequent Send/Receive pairs block). My slurm version is
2.1.0. It is also worth mentioning that all examples work when not using SLURM
(launching with "mpirun -np 5 <exaple_app>"). Blocking
occurs only when I try to run on multiple hosts with SLURM ("salloc -N5
mpirun <example_app>").

Are you able to run the MPI example programs in examples/ ?

I'm not sure what SLURM version that is -- my "srun --version" shows 2.2.4.
0.3.3 would be pretty ancient, no?
