[gmx-users] compilation problems orte error

[Jennifer Williams]

Dear All,

I am having problems compiling gromacs 4.0.7 in parallel. I am following the
Quick and Dirty Installation instructions on the gromacs webpage.
I downloaded the the versions of fftw, OpenMPI and gromacs-4.0.7  
following these instructions.

Everything seems to compile OK and I get all the serial executables  
including mdrun written to my bin directory and they seem to run fine.  
However when I try to run mdrun_mpi on 6 nodes I get the following:

[vlxbig16:08666] [NO-NAME] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Not found in file  
runtime/orte_init_stage1.c at line 182
[vlxbig16:08667] [NO-NAME] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Not found in file

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort.  There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or
environment problems.  This failure appears to be an internal failure;
here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):

   orte_rml_base_select failed
   --> Returned value -13 instead of ORTE_SUCCESS


Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Computer support at my  
University is not sure.


Thanks
