Hello, Thank you for your replies. I think another version of MPICH may not work as I am following a tutorial (https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/compilation_tutorial.php <https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/compilation_tutorial.php>) that requires specific library versions. My /etc/hosts file contains only these two lines:
" ::1 localhost localhost.my.domain 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain "
uname -n returns an empty string as I have not set a hostname. I guess I do not need this because I need to run MPICH only on this machine, that is on localhost? uname -a gives the following output:
Thing is, though, your initial post showed ssh being used as launcher. So in that case you would definitely need a hostname so you can resolve back to yourself (your shell prompt was a big clue, by the way). Setting a hostname and making it an alias of localhost in /etc/hosts would probably do wonders no matter the underlying launch. The -info output is pretty much the same as I see on FreeBSD. If you run a hello world with a sleep in it to allow you to react, what does “ps x” show? (Not familiar much with DragonFly beyond “poking at it” so I don’t have any particular insight there.) Tony
