[mpich-discuss] mpicexec segmentation fault

[MICHAEL S DAVIS]

I recently downloaded mpich2-1.3.2p1 and compiled and installed the 
software with no errors.

When I test run the test command

[root at host bin]# ./mpiexec -np 1 -machinefile machines /bin/hostname
Segmentation fault
[root at host bin]#

Here is the build information

[root at host bin]# ./mpiexec -info

I also tried using the intel compilers and get the same result.  The 
software builds and installs, but I can not run mpiexec without getting 
a segmentation fault.  I have mpich1 running on this cluster and have no 
problems with it.

I can ssh between nodes with no problems.

I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 9) if 
that makes any difference.

Can anybody tell me what might be the problem or how to fix this issue.

thanks
Mike
