[mpich-discuss] installation MPICH2

[Valerio Martorelli]

No, there is no reason.
I'm just writing a report about the configuration of a cluster with MPI.

Thanks a lot,

Valerio

You can perform these steps manually, however it is not preferred/supported since unless you know exactly what you are doing you can create a nightmare for yourself.

You will have to copy all the dlls to the other machine, install SMPD manually (making sure that you are installing the same version as of the dlls). Moreover unless you copy libs/headers/utils (of the same version as the dlls, SMPD etc) you won't be able to compile/run your program from a system.
