I believe you may have misunderstood the change. I don't change anyone's path in the middle of the run. I only alter the environment that the odls uses to launch the child processes, and that gets applied to the child at execve time. Mpirun's environment remains unchanged.
So I'm not sure I understand your issue... On 7/19/07 1:23 PM, "George Bosilca" <bosi...@cs.utk.edu> wrote: > I have a *BIG DOUBT* about this approach.
