Well, there are some other rather simple ways to do it too. 1. Follow the FAQs and setup your remote login environment properly
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#adding-ompi-to-path 2. add "-x LD_LIBRARY_PATH" to your mpirun cmd line, as explained in this FAQ http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#mpirun-options If you are using ssh/rsh for your launch, then #2 will resolve the problem as we set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in ssh prior to actually starting the orted. If you are launching via some other resource manager, then #2 will indeed not solve the problem as there is no way to preset the environment. However, most RMs (including Torque, Slurm, LSF, and SGE) allow passing of the environment if configured to do so - you might check with your sys admin to see if they will do it for you.
