Hi Tim
Thank You for your reply.
Unfortunately my workstation has died,
and even when i try to run openmpi application
in a simple way, i get errors:
jody@aim-nano_02 /home/aim-cari/jody $ mpirun -np 2 --hostfile hostfile ./a.out
bash: orted: command not found
[aim-nano_02:22145] ERROR: A daemon on node 130.60.49.129 failed to
start as expected.
[aim-nano_02:22145] ERROR: There may be more information available from
[aim-nano_02:22145] ERROR: the remote shell (see above).
[aim-nano_02:22145] ERROR: The daemon exited unexpectedly with status 127.
[aim-nano_02:22145] ERROR: A daemon on node 130.60.49.128 failed to

[aim-nano_02:22145] ERROR: the remote shell (see above).
[aim-nano_02:22145] ERROR: The daemon exited unexpectedly with status 127.
However, i set PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the correct paths both in
.bashrc AND .bash_profile.
For example:
jody@aim-nano_02 /home/aim-cari/jody $ ssh 130.60.49.128 echo $PATH
/opt/openmpi/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.2:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/javaws:/usr/qt/3/bin
But:
jody@aim-nano_02 /home/aim-cari/jody $ ssh 130.60.49.128 orted
bash: orted: command not found
Do You have any suggestions?
Thank You
Jody

Hi Jody,
Sorry for the super long delay. I don't know how this one got lost...
I run like this all the time. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as I
would like. Here is what I do:
1. Log into the machine using ssh -X
2. Run mpirun with the following parameters:
-mca pls rsh (This makes sure that Open MPI uses the rsh/ssh launcher.
It may not be necessary depending on your setup)
-mca pls_rsh_agent "ssh -X" (To make sure X information is forwarded.
This might not be necessary if you have ssh setup to always forward X
information)
--debug-daemons (This ensures that the ssh connections to the backed
nodes are kept open. Otherwise, they are closed and X information cannot
be forwarded. Unfortunately, this will also cause some debugging output
to be printed, but right now there is no other way :( )
So, the complete command is:
mpirun -np 4 -mca pls rsh -mca pls_rsh_agent "ssh -X" --debug-daemons
xterm -e gdb my_prog
I hope this helps. Let me know if you are still experiencing problems.
