Have you tried Googling this error?  People ask about it all the time.

The short answer is that you have to determine an appropriate number of 
ranks over which to parallelize your system.  You can't just arbitrarily 
parallelize over any number of ranks/cores.  Your system is much too 
small to use so many ranks.
