Please let me go over it again, and maybe it helps clarifying things a bit better. All the OS involved are Suse 10.3.
I have a place for the the installed programs, say /programs. In /programs I have installed openmpi and my mpi program, say my_mpi_program. When I am in the working directory, my LD_LIBRARY_PATH does include both /programs/my_mpi_program/lib /programs/openmpi/lib And my PATH includes /programs/my_mpi_program/bin /programs/openmpi/bin So, then I do mpirun -machinefile machinefile -np 20 my_mpi_program <arguments> and I get /programs/my_mpi_program: symbol lookup error: /programs/openmpi/lib/libmpi_cxx.so.0: undefined symbol: ompi_registered_datareps When I configured openmpi, I did ./configure --prefix=/programs/openmpi and then compiled it. Subsequently, I compiled my_mpi_program with the options: MPI_CXX=/programs/openmpi/bin/mpicxx MPI_CC=/programs/openmpi/bin/mpicc MPI_INCLUDE=/programs/openmpi/include/ MPI_LIB=mpi MPI_LIBDIR=/programs/openmpi/lib/ MPI_LINKERFORPROGRAMS=/programs/openmpi/bin/mpicxx Any clue? The directory /programs is NSF mounted on the nodes.

I already did that when I configured and compiled openmpi. Also, in response to your option 1, I did add the paths to libraries of openmpi in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the .cshrc of the nodes.

It sounds like your remote nodes may not be seeing your OMPI install directory. Several ways you can resolve that - here are a couple: 1. add the install directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your .cshrc (or whatever shell rc you are using) - be sure this is being executed on the remote nodes 2. add --prefix=path-to-install on your cmd line - this will direct your remote procs to the proper libraries Ralph On Mar 5, 2009, at 10:18 AM, justin oppenheim wrote: Maybe I should also add that the program my_mpi_executable is locally installed under the same root directory as that under which openmpi-1.3 is installed. This root directory is NSF mounted on the working nodes.

I am using openmpi-1.3, Suse 10.3. I installed openmpi-1.3 with the option ./configure --prefix=/where/to/install and then just make all install I thought the default connection mode is rsh, but I had to invoke ssh-agent, in order not have to enter password one by one. How to change to rsh?
