[mpich-discuss] installation problem on AIX

Thu Mar 8 12:33:42 CST 2012

Can you start simple programs like "ls" or "hostname"?  For example "mpiexec -n 2 hostname".

Like in the previous version of MPICH2, I need mpdboot to set up a parallel environment first. But, I have no idea how to check this. I found I don't have mpdboot common in my installation.
