I initially did a Google search on the error text and "Open MPI FAQ" Since the error message issued by 2.1.x no longer matches the text in the FAQ entry, my search did not find the entry.
Not only is the FAQ entry text (error message) specific to 2.0.x, but so is the entry's title "I am using Open MPI 2.0.x and getting an error at application startup. How do I work around this?" So, I still think a new FAQ entry is needed OR the existing one should be generalized. -Paul On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 9:15 AM, Howard Pritchard <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Paul > > There is an entry 8 under OS-X FAQ which describes this problem. > > Adding max allowable len is a good idea. > > Howard > > Paul Hargrove <[email protected]> schrieb am Di. 7.
