[mpich-discuss] installing and using MPI_PUBLISH_NAME and MPI_LOOKUP_NAME with mpich2

[Bernard Secher - SFME/LGLS]

Hello list,

I want to install and use MPI_PUBLISH_NAME and MPI_LOOKUP_NAME with mpich2.

I saw there is a --with-namepublisher=name configure option

with name =     no (no service available)                
                         mpd                                      
                         file:directory (optional directory)      
                         pmi

What are the differences between the different options ?
I tried to use mpd option but I got the following error message:
"configure: error: The mpd nameserver requires the mpd process manager"

Please, can anybody help me about this ?

Bernard
