You have two options:

1. Ensure that your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are exactly what you think they are on the remote nodes. A common problem that some people run into is that they setup their PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the "interactive" portions of their .bashrc, meaning that they are only set for interactive logins (and therefore not set for non-interactive logins). Try the following:

        ssh othernode 'echo $PATH'

Note the single quotes; they are necessary to ensure that "echo $PATH" is evaluated on the *remote* node. Do the same with $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ensure that they are really set to the values that you think they are. Check out the following FAQ entry:

    http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#adding-ompi-to-path

2. Use the --prefix functionality in mpirun to automatically set the PATH / LD_LIBRARY_PATH values for the remote node. Check out this FAQ entry:

    http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#mpirun-prefix

Note that a synonym to the --prefix functionality that is not [yet] mentioned in that FAQ entry is that you can use the absolute pathname to mpirun. For example:

    /path/to/mpirun ...

Or you can use OMPI 1.2's --enable-mpirun-prefix-by-default option to OMPI's configure, which will tell mpirun to always assume that it needs to use --prefix-like behavior (without you needing to specify it on the mpirun command line).

Hope that helps.

hi,all:
I am a first user of openmpi, I have used mpich before.I found there
are many differenties between them.So I am confused.
        I build openmpi on a ps3 using default option,that is
          $ ./configure --prefiex=
          $ make all install
        I modify my .bash_profile file and add openmpi lib and
        executable file
        in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH.
        I use NFS file system between server and node, I just install
        openmpi on
        server.
        I check the mailling list and FAQ, knowing default lancher is
        ssh,but I
        sitll add "pls_rsh_agent = ssh" in openmpi-mca-params.conf.

        I test the hello_c.c example. when I run:
                $mpiexec -host ps3-2 -n 4 ./hello
        it can run correctly(ps3-2 is hostname of server).I try it on
        each node.
        but when I run:
                $ mpiexec -hostfile host.txt -n 4 ./hello

        content of host.txt:
        ps3-1
        ps3-2

        there is error message:

        bash: orted: command not found

--------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
        mpiexec was unable to cleanly terminate the daemons for this
        job.
        Returned value Timeout instead of ORTE_SUCCESS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- I search the same problem in mailing list and FAQ, saying PATH
        and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH are not setted correctly,but I ensure them in my
        path.
        I use openmpi in first time, so hope anybody help me,thanks a
        lot!

sorry, I forget some information. I use openmpi1.2, I try to run the
command on remote host such as ,run command on ps3-1:
        $ mpiexec -host ps3-2 -n 2 ./a.out
there appear same error message.I think there is something wrong with
rsh/ssh,but I don't where to modify or some file I missed.
if someone met same problem,please tell me the solution. I will be
grateful. thanks very much!
