I compiled the following program and invoked it with "mpiexec -bynode
./test-env" in a PBS script.
#include "mpi.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i, rank, size, namelen;
MPI_Status stat;
MPI_Init (&argc, &argv);
MPI_Comm_size (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);
MPI_Comm_rank (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
printf("rank: %d: ld_library_path: %s\n", rank,
getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH"));
MPI_Finalize ();
return (0);
}
I submitted the script with "qsub -l procs=24 job.pbs", and got
rank: 4: ld_library_path:

mpiexec noticed that process rank 4 with PID 11617 on node cl2n004 exited
on signal 11 (Segmentation fault).

It seems that failures happen for arbitrary reasons. When I added a line in
the PBS script to print out the node allocation, the procs=24 case failed,
but then it worked a few seconds later, with the same list of allocated
nodes. So there's definitely something amiss with the cluster, although I
wouldn't know where to start investigating. Perhaps there is a
pre-installed OMPI somewhere that's interfering, but I'm doubtful.
By the way, thanks for all the support.
