I appreciate your response and I understand the logic behind your suggestion, but you and the other regular expert contributors to this list are frequently working under a misapprehension. Many of your openMPI users don't have any control over what version of openMPI is available on their system. I'm stuck with whatever version my IT people choose to bless, which in general is the (possibly old and/or moldy) version that is bundled with some larger package (i.e., Rocks, Linux). The fact that I'm only now seeing this 1.4 to 1.6 problem illustrates the situation I'm in. I really need someone to did into their memory archives to see if they can come up with a clue for me.

As you said, the mca parameter above tells OMPI not to use openib, although it may not be the only cause of the problem. If you want to use openib switch to --mca btl openib,sm,self Another thing to check is whether there is a mixup of enviroment variables, PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH perhaps pointing to the old OMPI version you may have installed.
