[mpich-discuss] Trouble in getting the logging interface to work

Well, the communicator object was getting deleted in the call to
MPIR_Comm_release ( invoked by MPID_Request_release()).. The inuse pointer
was being returned as 0.As a temporary fix,in MPI_ Init, I have set
ref_count paramenter for the comm object as 2. I shall trace through the
calls to see if it was getting decremented prior to MPID_Request_release().
Its is working for now and generating  the logfile in the ".clog2" format. I
executed the clogTOslog2 script and converted the format.

When I try loading the this log file to jumpshot, I get the following text
output :
GUI_LIBDIR is set. GUI_LIBDIR = /home/kc/mpich-install//lib
Java is version 1.4.2.
Starting the SLOG-2 Display Program .....
Jumpshot-4 setup file : /home/kc/.jumpshot4.conf
Initialize Parameters:
Y_AXIS_ROOT_LABEL = SLOG-2
INIT_SLOG2_LEVEL_READ = 4
AUTO_WINDOWS_LOCATION = true
SCREEN_HEIGHT_RATIO = 0.5
TIME_SCROLL_UNIT_RATIO = 0.01
Y_AXIS_ROOT_VISIBLE = true
ACTIVE_REFRESH = false
ROW_RESIZE_MODE = Row
BACKGROUND_COLOR = black
STATE_HEIGHT_FACTOR = 0.9
NESTING_HEIGHT_FACTOR = 0.8
ARROW_ANTIALIASING = default
MIN_WIDTH_TO_DRAG = 4
CLICK_RADIUS_TO_LINE = 3
LEFTCLICK_INSTANT_ZOOM = true
STATE_BORDER = ColorRaised
ARROW_HEAD_LENGTH = 10
ARROW_HEAD_WIDTH = 6
EVENT_BASE_WIDTH = 8
PREVIEW_STATE_DISPLAY = CumulativeExclusionRatio
PREVIEW_STATE_BORDER = ColorXOR
PREVIEW_STATE_BORDER_W = 3
PREVIEW_STATE_BORDER_H = 0
PREVIEW_STATE_LEGEND_H = 2
PREVIEW_ARROW_LOG_BASE = 5
SEARCH_ARROW_LENGTH = 20
SEARCH_FRAME_THICKNESS = 3
SEARCHED_OBJECT_ON_TOP = false
HISTOGRAM_ZERO_ORIGIN = true
SUMMARY_STATE_BORDER = ColorRaised
SUMMARY_ARROW_LOG_BASE = 5
LEGEND_PREVIEW_ORDER = true
LEGEND_TOPOLOGY_ORDER = true

The file block pointer to the Tree Directory is NOT initialized!, can't read
it.


         IS there any environment variable that needs to be initialsed?

Thanks,
