Jose --
This sounds like a problem that we just recently fixed in the 1.0.x
branch -- there were some situations where the "wrong" ethernet
device could have been picked by Open MPI (e.g., if you have a
cluster with all private IP addresses, and you run an MPI job that
spans the head node and the compute nodes, but the head node has
multiple IP addresses). Can you try the latest 1.0.2 release
candidate tarball and let us know if this fixes the problem?
http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.0/
Specifically, you should no longer need to specify that
btl_tcp_if_include parameter -- Open MPI should be able to "figure it
all out" for you.
Let us know if this works for you.

Finally it was a network problem. I had to disable one network
interface in the master node of the cluster by setting
btl_tcp_if_include = eth1 on file /usr/local/etc/openmpi-mca-
params.conf
thank you all for your help.

OK, it ALMOST works!!
Now I've install MPI on a non clustered machine and it works, but
surprisingly, it works fine from machine OUT1 as master to machine
CLUSTER1 as slave, but (here was my surprise) it doesn't work on
the other sense! If I run the same program with CLUSTER1 as master
it only sends one message from master to slave and blocks while
sending the second message. Maybe it is a firewall/iptable problem.
Does anybody know which ports does MPI use to send requests/
responses ot how to trace it? What I really don't understand is why
it happens at the second message and not the first one :-( I know
my slave never finishes, but It is not intended to right now, it
will in a next version, but I think it is not the main problem :-S
I send an attachemtn with the (so simple) code and a tarball with
my config.log

detailed informations
Thank you!

I noticed that your output doesn't appear to match what the source
code is capable of generating. It's possible that you're running
into problems with the code that we can't see because you didn't send
a complete version of the source code.
You might want to start by running some 3rd party codes that are
known to be good, just to make sure that your MPI installation checks
out. A good start is NetPIPE, which runs between two peers and gives
latency / bandwidth information. If that runs, then it's time to
look at your application. If that doesn't run, then it's time to
look at the MPI installation in more detail. In this case, it would
be useful to see all of the information requested here:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/help/
as well as from running the mpirun command used to start NetPIPE with
the -d option, so something like:
mpirun -np 2 -hostfile foo -d ./NPMpi
