thanks for the advice. unfortunately my code doesn't actually use python at all... it's just straight C. the only place i could find python on my system (since i don't program in python... yet) was in the fink files! (and of course in the Developer directories in OS 10.5, and python 2.3 in the holdover from my previous 10.4.)

but now i have gotten lam-mpiexec to run... after having rebuilt lam-mpi from scratch. perhaps the installation i had was from before i switched to 10.5, and i gather that 10.5 relegates python2.3 to the closet in a sense... perhaps this broke my lam-mpi installation. to tell the truth, lam-mpiexec still doesn't work, but it looks like lam-mpirun does.

btw, you're suspicion that the symbolic link wouldn't work was right on the money. no dice.

thanks for the help.
best,
todd

I doubt this will solve your problem, since your code seems to call python2.3
explicitly. Beside, a python symlink that point on the most recent python
version you have should already exist in /sw/bin. I would suggest to grep
for a "#!/usr/bin/env python2.3" line in your code, and replace it by
"!#/usr/bin/env python".
