Thanks Noam, that makes sense. Yes, I did mean to do ". hello" (with space in between). That was an attempt to replicate whatever OpenMPI is doing.
In the first post I mentioned that my mpirun command actually gets executed from within a Python script using the subprocess module. I don't know the details of the rsh launcher, but there are 3 remote hosts in the hosts file, and 3 sets of the error messages below. May be the rsh launcher is getting confused, doing something that is only valid under bash even though my default login environment is /bin/csh. mpirun --machinefile mpihosts.914 -np 48 -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH --mca orte_rsh_agent /usr/bin/rsh solver_openmpi -i flow.inp >& output % cat output /bin/.: Permission denied.

Since you're running csh, it's just looking for an executable named ., which does not exist (the csh analog of bash's . is source). /bin/. _is_ in your path, but it's a directory (namely /bin itself), which cannot be executed, hence the error. Perhaps you meant to do ./hello which means (both in bash and csh) run the script hello in the current working directory (.), rather than looking for it in the list of directories in $PATH Noam _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users
