[mpich-discuss] Error while connecting to host

Hi.
When rev1.3a1 was installed, it worked well. (At rev1.0.3, when
setting up as the manual, it operated normally.)
However, there is a problem by this method.
It is a problem that a port number and a domain name, kvs name change
whenever it starts a PMI server.
It is troublesome to start a PMI server, and to set up these
parameters again at every time.
Are there better methods.
> Let us know if it works. Meanwhile, why do you want to start your MPI processes manually ?
I am developing image-processing system using MPI.
In order to obtain high performance, I adopted the distributed
processing by multi PCs and MPI.
The program is developed by many men. And the contents of the program
differ for every PC (different progarams are operated on each PCs).
Therefore, everybody debug individually at the time of debugging.
Finally, it is necessary to build as one application.
At the time of execution, it starts at once from a host. However, I
want to start separately at the time of debugging and to perform MPI
communication.
If there is a better idea, please let me know.
Regards,
Someji

I set PMI_SIZE, PMI_RANK, PMI_KVS, PMI_DOMAIN, PMI_PORT, PMI_ROOT_PORT, PMI_HOST, PMI_ROOT_HOST env).
