Hi Ralph, Thank you for your reply. My problem does sound a bit like the bug you are describing however I'm not quite sure yet. I have implemented the exact same setup between 2 virtual machines and in that setup everything runs correctly. I did test if the local firewall was the problem but no luck. I'm uncertain if perhaps the local admin also is limiting traffic within the network through a firewall however I find that unlikely, but I will ask him on Monday. It did occur to me that perhaps the port forwarding is not setup correctly. I have forwarded port 22 from the virtualbox host to the virtual machine but perhaps openmpi requires more than just this port? The need to have your firewall not block TCP connections between pc's does seem to indicate this.
As for the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH how can I check if these are set correctly. When I login into the slave pc I'm able to use mpirun locally without the need to set any variables. To me this would seem to indicate that the problem is not related to the PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH. However when I try and add the master to the hosts file (so using them the wrong way around) I get the exact same behavior as observed before. Currently I'm leaning towards a problem with port forwarding however I can't find information of openmpi requires more than just port 22 to work. Regards, TWij -- Metrohm Applikon B.V.

This has been fixed for the upcoming 1.8.2 release, but you might want to use one of the nightly 1.8.2 snapshots in the interim. Most likely causes: * not finding the required libraries on the remote node because the default PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH aren't setup correctly * firewall preventing TCP connections between the machines Ralph On May 9, 2014, at 5:30 AM, Wijnberg, Tom <t...@metrohm-applikon.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I have encountered a problem with openmpi I can't seem to be able to > diagnose or find precedence in in the mailing-list.
