[mpich-discuss] SMPD not working under Cygwin in Windows? Comments?

[Jose Pascual-Gutierrez]

I have a Windows machine running Windows 7. The processor is an Intel(R)
Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93 GHz.

I installed a Linux terminal emulator, namely Red Hat Cygwin, which
opens a bash shell. Inside Red Hat Cygwin, I installed mpich2-1.3.2p1.
As previously suggested by the MPICH2 discussion forum, the
configuration was carried out with the option "--with-pm=smpd", since
Hydra does not work on a Windows box, even under Cygwin.

After executing "smpd -s" to start the smpd deamons, running a "make
testing" results in the following error:

Unexpected output in bcasttest: os_error = 104 (Connection reset by
peer)
Unexpected output in bcasttest: SMPDU_Sock_wait failed
Unexpected output in bcasttest: sock error: Error = -1
Unexpected output in bcasttest:
Unexpected output in bcasttest: state machine failed.

The error repeats itself for all the MPI functions tested.

Thank you very much for the input.
