Well, it turns out that I won't be able to do this after all. :-/
The problem is that the new hostfile handling system gets a tad upset
if it thinks a hostfile has been specified, but then it doesn't find
anything in it. I started trying to patch it to allow for the default
hostfile name to
can't argue with that logic! I'll make the change and file the
CMR.
Thanks

I think mainly because it simplifies installation of ompi for PTP
users. Since PTP uses the hostfile to display the system
configuration, we're pretty much always going to have one (although
PTP does work without it, feedback is more limited). It's much easier
for people to add
Can you help me understand something here? I'm not opposed to making
the change - just puzzled as to why the value of the default hostfile
name is of concern to Eclipse.
There is one reason not to set a default name - it causes us to open
and read that file, even though nobody ever put some

behavior (in 1.3 if possible).
Thanks,
