[OMPI devel] more vt-integration questions

2007-10-26 Thread Jeff Squyres
It looks like Dresden took my config/ompi_contrib.m4 file from the htor-nbc tree and made some updates. I like the idea of having ompi_info show the contributed packages and their versions, but just like the rest of the tree, it has to be done in a modular fashion. As it stands, in the

Ethan, I think I understand what the problem is. We should check for 2 files: ~/.svk and ~/.svk/local. If they both exist then we can use the "svn info" command. If ~/.svk/local is missing then svk will ask the user if it's ok to create it. With both ~/.svk and ~/.svk existing I finally

Ethan, Looks like you have a really old version of svk. Here is the information about mine: svk --version This is svk, version v2.0.2 (using Subversion bindings 1.4.5) And here is what's happens when I "svk info" on a non svk path. svk info unstable/ompi-trunk Repository

Hi Brian, Some good news and bad news. According to the information provided on http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running, I have enabled X11Forward on all remote nodes, and added the path to mpirun, which is "/usr/local/bin", on all node, and "xhost +" on my localhost, and set the

This patch break the autogen.sh in the case svk is available on the node. I try it on MAC OS X as well as Linux boxes, and svk info will try to create the svk if the project is not svk based. In fact it ask the user if he want to create the svk stuff, but the output is hidden by the

XGrid does not forward X11 credentials, so you would have to setup an X11 environment by yourself. Using ssh or a local starter does forward X11 credentials, which is why it works in that case. Brian On Oct 25, 2007, at 10:23 PM, Jinhui Qin wrote: Hi Brian, I got another problem in

Hi Brian, I got another problem in running an MPI job through XGrid. During the execution of this MPI job it will call Xlib functions (i.e. XOpenDisplay()) to open an X window. The XOpenDisplay() function call failed (return "null"), it can not open a display no matter how many processors that
