[mpich-discuss] mpich2 installation problem

[Ann Irvine]

I believe I have successfully built and installed MPICH2 (mpd, mpicc,
mpiexec, and mpirun all are appropriately referenced). I have also
successfully done the local machine sanity checks described in the
installation document and have successfully passed a message between a
server and client on a single (local) machine.

However, I haven't been able to complete the tests. I believe I have
narrowed the problem to the debugging section on page 37 of the
install.pdf guide. My mpdcheck checks are failing (shown below in 1
and 2).

I further think there is a problem with the MPI installation because
upon installing mpi4py, I am having problems importing MPI in a python
script. There, I receive the error in 3 (below).

I hope this is descriptive enough to receive some help. Please let me
know if it's not!

Thank you,
Ann
