[mpich-discuss] Fatal error in MPI_Init

[Luiz Carlos da Costa Junior]

Dears sirs,

I got the following message when I tried to run my code under Windows XP:

Fatal error in MPI_Init: Other MPI error, error stack:
MPIR_Init_thread(394): Initialization failed
MPID_Init(90)........: channel initialization failed
MPID_Init(357).......: PMI_Init returned -1
[0] PMI_Init failed: FAIL - init called when another process has exited
without calling init

job aborted:

This software can be compiled against Linux (using Intel) and Windows (using
Open Watcom).
Under Linux, it works normally.
Under Windows, I got the message above.
SMPD seems to be ok once the distributed CPI program works normally.
If I link my code with MPICH1-1.2.6 and run with "mpirun", it also works
fine.

The weird thing is that I could already make it work with
MPICH2/Windows/Open Watcom.

Do you have any clue regarding the reason of this error?
What can I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
LC
