hello,
we have installed open mpi 1.2 using synaptic package manager in 2 machines running on ubuntu 8.10 and ubuntu 8.04.the hello.c program runs correctly,but connectivity_c.c program included in the openmpi tarball example fails when we it tries to communicate between both computers.also on the 8.04 version we get  an error of "unable to find any HCA's will use another transport instead".on the 8.10 machine we get an error "unable to find executable:a.out host:ip of node".
however the programs run without errors when we specify  only localhost in hostfile.we have set up PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH,but still get same errors.
