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

[Michael Warthon]

Oh my god! It finally worked! Yes, apparently it was that I was compiling
it for the 64-bit version of MPICH2. I ran the code and it worked fine even
though it was giving me the error concerning the left socket in mpiexec.
Since it is working correctly, I think everything is okay now. Thank you
very much for helping me out these past couple of days. I greatly
appreciate it!
