Thomas, I think OpenMP is installed correctly. This
$ mpiexec -mca btl ^openib -N 5 gcc --version asks OpenMPI to run `gcc --version` once for each processor assigned to the job, so if you did NOT get 5 sets of output, it would be incorrect. >From your error error message, it looks to me as though you have multiple makers running fine, but they are all trying to do that same work, so one of them came to a bit of work that one of the others was either working on or had finished. This is typically the case when the program uses the same temporary directory for every running instance, in which case they are overwriting each other's files, or the way the job got specified, all the maker instances got the same input parameter, so they all have identical work lists. You need to have some way to tell each instance of maker which parts to work on and/or to specify a different temporary directory for each one to use. I hope that is of some help, -- bennet On Thu, Feb 18, 2021 at 7:41 AM Thomas Eylenbosch via users < users@lists.open-mpi.org> wrote: > Hello > > > > We are trying to run maker(http://www.yandell-lab.org/software/maker.html) > in combination with OpenMPI > > > > But when we are trying to submit a job with the maker and openmpi, > > We see the following error in the log file: > > --Next Contig-- > > #--------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Another instance of maker is processing *this* contig!! > > SeqID: chrA10 > > Length: 17398227 > > #--------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > According to > > > http://gmod.827538.n3.nabble.com/Does-maker-support-muti-processing-for-a-single-long-fasta-sequence-using-openMPI-td4061342.html > > > > We have to run the following command mpiexec -mca btl ^openib -n 40 > maker -help > > “If you get a single help message then everything is fine.
