Hello everybody!


I installled MPICH2 failed. Need you help.


My processor is intel e5300, 2600 MHz (13 x 200). Operating system is Red Hat Linux 9.
I installed MPI following the "mpich2-1.2.1-installguide.pdf". 


In step 8, I added the bin subdirectory of the installation directory to my path:


export PATH=/home/mhy/mpich2-install/bin:$PATH


then checked it:


[root at localhost mpich2-1.2.1p1]# which mpd
/home/mhy/mpich2-install/bin/mpd
[root at localhost mpich2-1.2.1p1]# which mpicc
/home/mhy/mpich2-install/bin/mpicc
[root at localhost mpich2-1.2.1p1]# which mpiexec
/home/mhy/mpich2-install/bin/mpiexec
[root at localhost mpich2-1.2.1p1]# which mpirun
/home/mhy/mpich2-install/bin/mpirun
[root at localhost mpich2-1.2.1p1]#


All aboves are OK.


The next step was editing the file mpd.conf. I logged in Linux as root. So I created a file named mpd.conf in the directory /etc and 


cd /home
touch mpd.conf
chmod 600 mpd.conf


Then I edited mpd.conf with the line secretword="my secretword"


When I checked the sanity, the errors turned out:
 
[root at localhost mpich2-1.2.1p1]# mpd &
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mhy/mpich2-install/bin/mpd", line 87, in ?
    from sets import Set as set
ImportError: No module named sets

 

[root at localhost mpich2-1.2.1p1]# mpdtrace

yours sincerely
