That backtrace seems to imply that the launch may not have completed. Can you make an executable script foo.sh with:
#!/bin/bash i=0 while test $i -lt 10; do date sleep 1 let i=$i+1 done Make sure that foo.sh is executable and then run it via: mpirun -np 1 foo.sh If you start seeing output, good! If it completes, better! If it hangs, and/or if you don't see any output at all, do this: ps auxwww | egrep 'mpirun|foo.sh' It should show mpirun and 2 copies of foo.sh (and probably a grep).
