FWIW, this question was answered on the Open MPI list: https://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2016/05/29280.php Hope that helps.

Hi,

I am using 2 software, one is called Open Foam and the other called EMPIRE that need to run together at the same time. Open Foam uses Open MPI implementation and EMPIRE uses either MPICH or intel mpi. The version of Open MPI that comes with Open Foam is 1.6.5. I am using Intel (R) MPI Library for linux * OS, version 5.1.3 and MPICH 3.0.4.

My problem is when I have the environment variables of either mpich or Intel MPI sourced to bashrc, I fail to run a case of Open Foam with parallel processing ( You find attached a picture of the error I got ) This is an example of a command line I use to run Open Foam mpirun -np 4 interFoam -parallel

Once I keep the environment variable of OpenFoam only, the parallel processing works without any problem, so I won't be able to run EMPIRE.

I am sourcing the environment variables in this way:

For Open Foam: source /opt/openfoam30/etc/bashrc

For MPICH 3.0.4

export PATH=/home/islem/Desktop/mpich/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/islem/Desktop/mpich/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" export MPICH_F90=gfortran export MPICH_CC=/opt/intel/bin/icc export MPICH_CXX=/opt/intel/bin/icpc export MPICH-LINK_CXX="-L/home/islem/Desktop/mpich/lib/ -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/islem/Desktop/mpich/lib -lmpichcxx -lmpich -lopa -lmpl -lrt -lpthread"

For intel

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/bin/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/intel/lib/intel64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH source /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.3.210/linux/mpi/intel64/bin/mpivars.sh intel64

If Only Open Foam is sourced, mpirun --version gives OPEN MPI (1.6.5) If Open Foam and MPICH are sourced, mpirun --version gives mpich 3.0.1 If Open Foam and intel MPI are sourced, mpirun --version gives intel (R) MPI libarary for linux, version 5.1.3

My question is why I can't have two MPI implementation installed and sourced together. How can I solve the problem ?
