This is not a problem to be concerned with. It is purely informative. > Second, the MPICH and LAM tests are failing.

RedHat packages a version of lam, and you may have been stuck with that one. You should have lam-oscar-6.5.6-usysv.7 (and lam-oscar-module) installed. Running the test scripts outside the test environment will invariably not work well. We include commands in our test suite to switch to the appropriate mpi environment, and then switch back to the default when they're over. That would explain the mpich errors you got (I think). > (2) LAM tests: > (a) lamboot at beginning of pbs_script.lam attempts to rsh and fails. > rsh is deactivated by default on my cluster and I would like to keep it this > way. Setting up a link named rsh that points to ssh fixes this. Can the > OSCAR distros of LAM and MPICH be configured to use ssh instead of rsh? Our lam does use ssh. Check your version of lam (see above) Jason ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net emial is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
