Hi Samuel,
I'm trying to run off your HG clone, but I'm seeing issues with
c_hello, e.g.,
$ mpirun -mca mpi_common_sm sysv --mca btl self,sm,tcp --host
burl-ct-v440-2,burl-ct-v440-2 -np 2 ./c_hello
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A system call failed during shared memory initialization that should
not have. It is likely that your MPI job will now either abort or
experience performance degradation.
Local host: burl-ct-v440-2
System call: shmat(2)
Process: [[43408,1],1]
Error: Invalid argument (errno 22)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
^Cmpirun: killing job...
$ uname -a
SunOS burl-ct-v440-2 5.10 Generic_118833-33 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
The same test works okay if I s/sysv/mmap/.
Regards,
Ethan
