[mpich-discuss] Hello Community!

[devadmin]

Hello I just signed up for the list and have been trying to experiment
with MPICH2 for a few months off and on, and now im getting very
interested, and frustrated at the same time, I have the same version
compiled and installed on two machines and Im getting the following
error, it seems Im not giving MPICH2 what it wants in terms of host
names or host list. It would seem that things have changed because
"-machinefile" is not recognized at all by MPICH2 as a directive. 




deviant:/# mpirun   -np 2   -hosts
nodes.txt /home/devadmin/source/john-1.7.8-jumbo-7/run/./john  --test
mpirun: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: no version information available

[mpiexec at deviant] HYDU_sock_is_local (./utils/sock/sock.c:536): unable
to get host address for relic.evil, (1)
[mpiexec at deviant] main (./ui/mpich/mpiexec.c:356): unable to check if
relic.evil, is local

If I specify -hosts 10.10.1.x it WILL launch a process on whichever host
I specify, so it would appear to me that Im not giving it what it wants
in terms of hostlist ect.

Ive tried formatting my hostfile "nodes.txt" in many ways recommended
Ive tried
10.10.1.107,
10.10.1.105

Ive tried 

10.10.1.107,10.10.1.105,

Ive also tried this 

10.10.1.105  slots=1
10.10.1.107  slots=1

or this 

10.10.1.105  slots=1,
10.10.1.107  slots=1,

They all give me the same failure. Anyone know what the heck im doin
wrong here?
