Hello, The below FAQ lists instructions on how to use a relocated Open MPI installation:
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#installdirs On Solaris, OPAL_PREFIX and friends (documented in the FAQ) work for me with both MPI (hello_c) and non-MPI (hostname) programs. On Linux, I can only get the non-MPI case to work. Here are the environment variables I am setting: $ cat setenv_opal_prefix.csh set opal_prefix = "/opt/openmpi-relocated" setenv OPAL_PREFIX $opal_prefix setenv OPAL_BINDIR $opal_prefix/bin setenv OPAL_SBINDIR $opal_prefix/sbin setenv OPAL_DATAROOTDIR $opal_prefix/share setenv OPAL_SYSCONFDIR $opal_prefix/etc setenv OPAL_SHAREDSTATEDIR $opal_prefix/com setenv OPAL_LOCALSTATEDIR $opal_prefix/var setenv OPAL_LIBDIR $opal_prefix/lib setenv OPAL_INCLUDEDIR $opal_prefix/include setenv OPAL_INFODIR $opal_prefix/info setenv OPAL_MANDIR $opal_prefix/man setenv PATH $opal_prefix/bin:$PATH setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $opal_prefix/lib:$opal_prefix/lib/64 Here is the error I get: $ mpirun -np 2 hello_c -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It looks like opal_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is likely to abort. There are many reasons that a parallel process can fail during opal_init; some of which are due to configuration or environment problems. This failure appears to be an internal failure; here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an Open MPI developer): opal_carto_base_select failed --> Returned value -13 instead of OPAL_SUCCESS -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [burl-ct-v20z-0:27737] [[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Not found in file runtime/orte_init.c at line 77 Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks, Ethan
