Hello, I've installed openmpi 1.5.5 on both my Mac and Linux servers using the ssh/rsh process manager. I can successfully run a program across both servers from my Mac, but not from my Linux server as the Linux server seems to be trying to run orted using an absolute path rather than a relative one. Quick question is: how can I get my Linux server to use a relative path, rather than absolute path, for orted?
First, let's verify that orted can be found in each computer's path in a remote login: [macserver]~> ssh linuxserver which orted /opt/local/lib/openmpi/bin/orted [linuxserver]~> ssh macserver which orted /data/gentoo/usr/bin/orted Initiating mpirun from the Mac works fine: [macserver]~> mpirun -n 2 -H macserver,linuxserver hostname macserver linuxserver But not from Linux: [linuxserver]~> mpirun -n 2 -H macserver,linuxserver hostname bash: /data/gentoo/usr/bin/orted: No such file or directory <snip> Also, the launch-agent argument doesn't help any as the launch-agent is still expected in the /data/... path: [linuxserver]~> mpirun -launch-agent XYZ -n 2 -H macserver,linuxserver hostname bash: /data/gentoo/usr/bin/XYZ: No such file or directory <snip> If I create a /data/gentoo/usr/bin directory on the Mac with an orted symlink to the correct location, mpi will run correctly when started from Linux. However, (aside from being inelegant) I intend to use openmpi on a heterogeneous cluster in which orted may be installed in multiple non-standard locations. I will neither have root access to all computers nor do I want to manage a network of symlinks on every computer in the cluster. So, my simple question is, how can I get my Linux server to look for orted in the Mac's PATH, rather than it specifying an absolute path that isn't there? Thanks, Robert
