[mpich-discuss] mpdboot fails

[Robert Kubrick]

I'm not clear on how --mpd works: I want to specify two different  
paths, one for the local machine and one for the remote host (or  
possibly a number of different remote hosts). Here it looks like I  
can only set one path for all the hosts:

$ mpdboot --verbose --totalnum=2 --mpd=/usr/local/mpich2/bin/mpd --debug
debug: starting
running mpdallexit on iMac.local
LAUNCHED mpd on iMac.local  via
debug: launch cmd= /usr/local/mpich2/bin/mpd   --ncpus=1 -e -d
debug: mpd on iMac.local  on port no_port
mpdboot_iMac.local (handle_mpd_output 406): from mpd on iMac.local,  
invalid port info:
no_port


$ mpdboot --verbose --totalnum=2 --debug
debug: starting

LAUNCHED mpd on iMac.local  via

debug: mpd on wlaptop  on port no_port
mpdboot_iMac.local (handle_mpd_output 406): from mpd on wlaptop,  
invalid port info:
