[mpich-discuss] Fatal error in MPI_Test: Invalid MPI_Request

[Gus Correa]

Hi Samir

As per your previous message, you were launching your
Ring test program directly from the Linux prompt,
without any mpiexec.
MPI programs require mpiexec to run properly.
(See my Feb/23/09 reply to you below.)

Did you change this?
I.e. which command do you use to launch your program?

It may help also if you send the commands that you use to
compile your library, and to compile the Ring test program.

Among other things, you need to make sure that your library,
if it calls MPI functions,
is compiled with the same MPICH2 as the test program (Ring).

Also, using full path names may help you.
