Hi. I had tried this. It still looks for ORTE file(s) on the hard disks of 
compute nodes.

Now I know that I can install Open MPI in a shared directory. But is it 
possible to make executable files that don't look for any Open MPI's files on 
disk?

Sure - just configure OMPI with “--enable-static --disable-shared”

Thank you very much. Could you please answer another somewhat related question? 
I'd like to know if ORTE could be linked statically like a library in order to 
have a completely stand-alone executable file. As you may have noticed I don't 
have a good knowledge of how Open MPI works.
Thanks in advance,
Arham

MPI_Comm_create_group was not available in Open MPI v1.6.
so unless you are willing to create your own subroutine in your
application, you'd rather upgrade to Open MPI v2

i recomment you configure Open MPI with
--disable-dlopen --prefix=<a shared filesystem available on frontend
and compute nodes>

unless you plan to scale on thousands of nodes, you should be just
fine with that.

Cheers,

Gilles
