MIPCH-p4 programs on myrinet

[Andrew Emerson]

Hi

We are trying to run a MPICH-P4 executable on our myrinet cluster (2 
procs/node). Without the -comm option we get just non-communicating serial 
jobs but when using -comm mpich-p4 we get the following error:

node  0: name = node05, cpu = 1
node  1: name = node05, cpu = 0
wait_one_task_start: evt = 2, task 0 host node05
All 1 task started.
bm_slave_1_16011: (0.002536) process not in process table; my_unix_id = 
16011 my_host=node05
bm_slave_1_16011: (0.002733) Probable cause:  local slave on uniprocessor 
without shared memory
bm_slave_1_16011: (0.002754) Probable fix:  ensure only one process on node05
bm_slave_1_16011: (0.002766) (on master process this means 'local 0' in the 
procgroup file)
bm_slave_1_16011: (0.002776) You can also remake p4 with SYSV_IPC set in 
the OPTIONS file
bm_slave_1_16011: (0.002785) Alternate cause:  Using localhost as a machine 
name in the progroup
bm_slave_1_16011: (0.002795) file.  The names used should match the 
external network names.
bm_slave_1_16011:  p4_error: p4_get_my_id_from_proc: 0
p0_15936: (0.002576) send_message: to=1; invalid conn type=5
p0_15936: (0.002576) send_message: to=1; invalid conn type=5
wait_tasks: numspawned = 1, got evt 3 for tid 2 host node05 status 1
mpiexec: Warning: main: task 0 exited with status 1 (raw 0x1).

THe version of mpiexec is 0.72 (mpiexec -version = Version 0.72, configure 
options: --with-pbs=/usr/local/pbse/OpenPBS_2_3_12-mpiexec072 
--with-pbssrc=/cineca/prod/OpenPBSe/OpenPBS_2_3_12-mpiexec072 
--with-smp-size=2 --with-mpich-gm --with-myri-cards=2).

Is there any way round this? Unfortunately, we dont have the source code of 
the application only the executable which has been statically linked.

best wishes
