*Hello Nick, *

*Thank you for your e-mail. *

*If  I call MPI_Intercomm_merge with all processes like this:
*
#define NUM_SPAWNS 4
double timer;
int i;
char str[100];

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
    MPI_Comm parentcomm, intercomm;
    MPI_Comm comm;
    MPI_Init( &argc, &argv );
    MPI_Comm_get_parent( &parentcomm );
    int np = NUM_SPAWNS;

    if (parentcomm == MPI_COMM_NULL)
    {
        int errcodes[np];
        MPI_Comm_spawn( "/home/umit/Desktop/merge/./a.out", MPI_ARGV_NULL,
np, MPI_INFO_NULL, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &intercomm, errcodes );
    }
    else
    {
        printf("I'm the spawned.\n");
    }
    *MPI_Intercomm_merge( intercomm, 1, &comm );*
    MPI_Finalize();
    return 0;
}

*
I am getting this time follgende error:*

umit at ubuntu:~/Desktop/merge$ mpirun -np 1 ./a.out
I'm the spawned.
*Fatal error in MPI_Intercomm_merge: Invalid communicator, error stack:*
MPI_Intercomm_merge(288): MPI_Intercomm_merge(comm=0x331ff4, high=1,
newintracomm=0xbf9d0720) failed
MPI_Intercomm_merge(93).: Invalid communicator
I'm the spawned.
