[mpich-discuss] mpich2-1.3rc2.tar.tar under cygwin+WINDOWS Server 2003 R2 installation problem

[Victor Gillette]

However, mpiexec is running. These are the commands I entered so far:....

E:\Victor\soft\MPICH2>msiexec /i mpich2-1.2.1p1-win-x86-64.msi
E:\Victor\soft\MPICH2>mpiexec -n 2 hostname
Aborting: unable to connect to TRISO, smpd version mismatch
E:\Victor\soft\MPICH2>mpiexec -n 2 dir
Aborting: unable to connect to TRISO, smpd version mismatch
E:\Victor\soft\MPICH2>mpiexec
Usage:
mpiexec -n <maxprocs> [options] executable [args ...]
mpiexec [options] executable [args ...] : [options] exe [args] : ...
mpiexec -configfile <configfile>
options:
standard:
-n <maxprocs>
-wdir <working directory>
-configfile <filename> -
       each line contains a complete set of mpiexec options
       including the executable and arguments
-host <hostname>
-path <search path for executable, ; separated>
extensions:
-env <variable value>
-hosts <n host1 host2 ... hostn>
-hosts <n host1 m1 host2 m2 ... hostn mn>
-machinefile <filename> - one host per line, #commented
-localonly <numprocs>
-exitcodes - print the exit codes of processes as they exit
-genvlist <list of env var names a,b,c,...> - pass current values of these
vars
-g<local arg name> - global version of local options
  genv, gwdir, ghost, gpath, gmap
-file <filename> - old mpich1 job configuration file
examples:
mpiexec -n 4 cpi
mpiexec -n 1 -host foo master : -n 8 worker
For a list of all mpiexec options, execute 'mpiexec -help2'
E:\Victor\soft\MPICH2>
Thanks

Victor
