srv = 0 is set in my main program
I call Bcast because all the processes must call MPI_Comm_accept (collective) or must call MPI_Comm_connect (collective)

Anyway, I get also a dead lock with your lookup program:

That's what I do:

ompi-server -r URIfile

mpirun -np 1 -ompi-server file:URIfile lookup& (it the program which publish the name)
mpirun -np 1 -ompi-server file:URIfile lookup (it is the program which lookup the name)

>From these two programs I create a global communicator to exchange communications between the two others

You're calling bcast with root=0, so whatever value rank 0 has for srv, everyone will have after the bcast.  Plus, I didn't see in your code where *srv was ever set to 0.

In my runs, rank 0 is usually the one that publishes first.  Everyone then gets the lookup properly, and then the bcast sends srv=1 to everyone.  They all then try to call MPI_Comm_accept.

Your code was incomplete, so I had to extend it; see attached.

Here's a sample output with 8 procs:

[7:12] svbu-mpi:~/mpi % mpicc lookup.c -o lookup -g && mpirun lookup

Jeff,

Only the processes of the program where process 0 successed to publish name, have srv=1 and then call MPI_Comm_accept.
The processes of the program where process 0 failed to publish name, have srv=0 and then call MPI_Comm_connect.

That's worked like this with openmpi 1.4.1.

Is it different whith openmpi 1.5.1 ?

You're broadcasting srv here -- won't everyone now have *srv==1, such that they all call MPI_COMM_ACCEPT, below?

  

      
  if ( *srv )
    /* I am the Master */
    MPI_Comm_accept( port_name, MPI_INFO_NULL, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &gcom );
  else{

    MPI_Errhandler_set(MPI_COMM_WORLD, MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL);
  }

  if(myrank != 0) *srv = 0;

  return gcom;

}
