SIGSERV in MPI_Comm_rank

[Adolph J. Vogel]

Hi,

I'm having trouble when running a hello world example program with PETSc. 
Running the same type of program with plain MPI works. This lead me to 
believe that the error lies with my PETSc setup.

I get the following error:

$ ./hello
MPI process rank 0 (n0, p28410) caught a SIGSEGV in MPI_Comm_rank.
Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD): Call stack within LAM:
Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD):  - MPI_Comm_rank()
Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD):  - main()

and:

$ mpirun -np 2 hello
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the processes started by mpirun has exited with a nonzero exit
code.  This typically indicates that the process finished in error.
If your process did not finish in error, be sure to include a "return
0" or "exit(0)" in your C code before exiting the application.

PID 28430 failed on node n0 (127.0.0.1) due to signal 11.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone have any idea what the error might be? 

Thank  you in advance.

Adolph

PS: hello.c:
#include "petsc.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
  PetscInitialize( &argc, &argv, 0, 0 );
  PetscPrintf( PETSC_COMM_WORLD, "Hello World\n" );
  PetscFinalize();
  return 0;
}
