The problem is, that You need the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to the
ompi/orte-libraries installed on Your system
However, with rsh-based startup-method, those paths may not be set on the
actual node.
Therefore, one solution is to copy those flags responsible with -x PATH and -x
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or shorter to use --prefix so that the rsh-code sets these
env.-flags itself.
However, You may need to play with the --mca rsh_assume_same_shell 0 flag to
the mpirun startup to figure out the way these flags should be set (bash/sh,
tcsh/csh-way)... Otherwise, it assumes the same shell as on the machine You
run the mpirun/mpiexec.
With best regards,
Rainer
