[gmx-users] lamboot command problem

[sarbani chattopadhyay]

  Thank you Mark,
                           You are absolutely right. I made a mistake while giving the command. It is 
running fine after giving the command  "mpirun -np 4 mdrun_mpi ...."
 THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

>There need be nothing wrong with your hostfile. The hostfile describes the layout and 
range of MPI possibilities. When you run an MPI program, the default is to use only one MPI 
process. If you want more, use mpirun properly, e.g. mpirun -np 4 mdrun_mpi. These days 
one doesn't need to give -np 4 to mdrun_mpi, but the converse is not true.
