Hello everyone,

I have been configuring a new ubuntu cluster and wanted it to run MPI programs.  I got mpich configured and compiled then ran the following as a test:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>

int main (int argc, char** argv) {
    int rank = 0, size = 0, nameLen = 0;
    char procName[MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME];

    MPI_Init (&argc, &argv);
    MPI_Comm_size (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);
    MPI_Comm_rank (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
    MPI_Get_processor_name (procName, &nameLen);

    printf ("Hello from processor %s, rank %d of %d\n", procName, rank, size);

    MPI_Finalize();
    return 0;
}

using the commands:

mpicc mpi_hello.c -o mpi_hello

mpiexec -mahcinefile machinefile mpi_hello

my machienfile looks like this:

beanblade4:24

beanblade3:24

beanblade2:24

beanblade:24

Which it properly defined in /etc/hosts.  It compiled and executed without error and returned all the processes I had on each node.  I went on to install some programs on the NFS drive and when I tried to run it I get the following error

bash: orted: command not found
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ORTE was unable to reliably start one or more daemons.
This usually is caused by:

* not finding the required libraries and/or binaries on
  one or more nodes. Please check your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  settings, or configure OMPI with --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default

* lack of authority to execute on one or more specified nodes.
  Please verify your allocation and authorities.

* the inability to write startup files into /tmp (--tmpdir/orte_tmpdir_base).
  Please check with your sys admin to determine the correct location to use.

*  compilation of the orted with dynamic libraries when static are required
  (e.g., on Cray). Please check your configure cmd line and consider using
  one of the contrib/platform definitions for your system type.

* an inability to create a connection back to mpirun due to a
  lack of common network interfaces and/or no route found between
  them. Please check network connectivity (including firewalls
  and network routing requirements).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This error now gets returned when I try to run the mpi_hello program I used to test my mpi implementation.  if I drop the machinefile tag from my mpiexec command I get

mpiexec ./mpi_hello
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[14894,1],17]: A high-performance Open MPI point-to-point messaging module
was unable to find any relevant network interfaces:

Module: OpenFabrics (openib)
  Host: beanblade

Another transport will be used instead, although this may result in
lower performance.
