Re: [OMPI users] how to get openMPI working, someone help me.

Well, the version number 8.04.1 was the version number of the Ubuntu JeOS.

Very similar to the Ubuntu Server but with a optimized kernel for VmWare.

see the link here.
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jeos/releases/8.04.1/release/

well i searched the repositories, but could not find anything for a few
days. so i thought that it has to be installed using the tar.gz file.

thanks for pointing out that is there in the repos.


Well i am actually waiting for the Debian Lenny release. Once my testing on
VmWare is over. My plan is to use real machines. And definitely it will be
Lenny.


Thanks

Regards

Venu Gopal

Open MPi is packaged for Debian and hence part of Ubuntu. So just do:

   $ sudo apt-get install libopenmpi1 linopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin openmpi-doc

In Ubuntu 8.10, this gives you Open MPI 1.2.7. In Ubuntu 8.4, you're at a
slightly older version so I suggest upgrading.

In case you really want 1.2.8, by far the easiest way (and also most general)
is to just grab the Debian source from 'Debian unstable' and rebuild on your
system to match your libraries. That can be quasi-automated, see 'apt-get
source' and use google as this is getting off-topic for this list.

Hope this helps,

[OMPI users] how to get openMPI working, someone help me.

Hello,

I am new into this mailing list, and am trying to install openMPI on Ubuntu
8.0.4.1

Basically my idea is to build a beowulf. Well right now i even dont have
lots of PC's for this purpose.

So I am planning to first use virtual machines on VmWare. I have installed
around four Virtual machines on my PC. And all of them can talk to each
other. I mean they are all networked together without any firewalls in
between.

I downloaded openmpi-1.2.8.tar.gz, extracted it and executed the configure
script file.

This gave me lots of errors, and didnt suceed. How do I get this working
now.

Any one please help me.


I am fairly good in using Linux but have no idea about openMPI.
I know C and C++ pretty well. And planning to learn using MPI.
