MPI problem after update

[florian100]

Hi everyone
I run an update of ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and now my mpi programs do not work anymore... The error is


[florian-laptop:02935] [[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: A system-required executable either could not be found or was not executable by this user in file ../../../../../../orte/mca/ess/singleton/ess_singleton_module.c at line 269

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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_ess_set_name failed
--> Returned value A system-required executable either could not be found or was not executable by this user (-127) instead of ORTE_SUCCESS

additional information (which may only be relevant to an Open MPI

ompi_mpi_init: orte_init failed

*** An error occurred in MPI_Init
*** before MPI was initialized
*** MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL (your MPI job will now abort)
[florian-laptop:2935] Abort before MPI_INIT completed successfully; not able to guarantee that all other processes were killed!

I have not really an idea what causes this problem but is definitely a problem of the mpi package because the mpi programs are working on other machines...
My MPI program is using MPI only, not openMP
I am thankful for any help, if any additional informations are needed I am happy to provide them
best regards

Hi, I had a similar problem, following the suggestion here
https://answers.launchpad.net/dorsal/+question/91701
to compile and install openmpi from source fixed it for me.

Had the same problem. Got around it by removing openmpi and using the lam mpi package.

had the same problem, was solved after installing the the package openmpi-bin

apt-get install openmpi-bin
