[mpich-discuss] Segmentation Fault when running any application.

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 There are two ways you can use MPICH2 on Windows+cygwin,

# Download MPICH2 source compile/install it on Cygwin. Use mpicc to compile and use mpiexec (from this installation - NOT the one available with Windows installer) to run your program.

# Download MPICH2 Windows installer, install MPICH2 (using installer gui). Use the cygwin/gcc libs provided with the Windows installation to compile your code. Use mpiexec from the Windows installation to run your job.

 Looks like you are mixing the approaches.

Regards,
Jayesh

I was using mpicc in order to compile it. Unfortunately I am still not able to compile the code even with the command you gave me. I used: 

gcc -l/mpich_install/include -L/mpich_install/lib hello.c -lmpi 

I still received the same error. Did I install it incorrectly maybe?

Hi, 
How were you compiling your code before ? 
A command similar to, 

"gcc -I/cygdrive/c/Progra~1/MPICH2/include -L/cygdrive/c/Progra~1/MPICH2/lib hello.c -o hello.exe -lmpi" 

should work.

Alright. Well I tried it and for some reason it is not able to see the library. 
I used the command: 
gcc -g hello.c -L\mpich_install\lib -lmpi 

It ended up giving me an error saying: 
fatal error: mpi.h: No such file or directory

Hi, 
Try using gcc (usual gcc stuff: specify include dirs using "-I", lib dirs using "-L") to compile your code and link it with "-lmpi" .

What would be the correct command to use in cygwin in order to compile the code? Just want to make sure that I actually compiled it correctly.

Hi, 
I just tried compiling your code with cygwin gcc (3.4.4) + MPICH2 1.4.1p1 gcc libs and it worked for me (No seg fault, gives the expected output). 
Make sure that you are using the correct header files and libraries (MPICH2 libs and headers) when you compile your code.

Ah sorry. I forgot to include the p1 at the end of it. I am using mpich2 1.4.1p1

Did you try the latest stable release (1.4.1p1)?

Hello, 

I am new to MPI and I went and installed mpich2 1.4.1 onto a windows system that is being used through cygwin. I have compiled the code that simply prints the process and rank as shown below. 



#include <stdio.h> 
#include <mpi.h> 

int main( int argc, char *argv[]) { 

int numprocs, rank, namelen; 
char processor_name[MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME]; 

MPI_Init(&argc, &argv); 
MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &numprocs); 
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank); 
MPI_Get_processor_name(processor_name, &namelen); 

printf( "Process %d on %s out of %d\n" , rank, processor_name, numprocs); 

MPI_Finalize(); 
} 

Nothing too complicated. However, I still receive an error from the command line in cygwin that simply reads segmentation fault: (core dumped). The command I used was: 

mpiexec -n 1 a.exe 

No matter what executable I try to run, I still receive the same error. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated!
