After I installed xvfb-run, that worked :-) openmpi-ext-oct362 installed without X errors or any other problems with that change -- many thanks! And yes, that machine is headless, though I do have X11Forwarding set to yes. Clearly that's not enough... thanks again, -- Viv ________________________________________________ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv tel: +44 113 343 4864 Physics and Astronomy Quantum Information Group University of Leeds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got visibility?
