[mpich-discuss] Fatal error in MPI_Init

[Luiz Carlos da Costa Junior]

Hi Jayesh,

I compile my code with OpenWatcom compiler.
The procedure I use is:

   1. create library files from mpich2.dll and fmpich2.dll (distributed with
   MPICH2 setup),
   2. compile all my code with the MPICH2 libraries
   3. run my code using "mpiexe -host hostname -n N myapplication"

I had already used procedure successfully before, but I don't know what is
happening now.
I have tried with MPICH2 versions 1.0.8 and the newer one 1.1.1, but the
error is the same.

I also tried to repeat this procedure on a computer without MPI's
installation, but I got the same.

As I told before, I'am able to run CPI and also non-MPI programs.
Any clue that can help me?

Thanks
