Hello,

I am new into this mailing list, and am trying to install openMPI on Ubuntu 8.0.4.1

Basically my idea is to build a beowulf. Well right now i even dont have lots of PC's for this purpose.

So I am planning to first use virtual machines on VmWare. I have installed around four Virtual machines on my PC. And all of them can talk to each other. I mean they are all networked together without any firewalls in between.

I downloaded openmpi-1.2.8.tar.gz, extracted it and executed the configure script file.

This gave me lots of errors, and didnt suceed. How do I get this working now.

Any one please help me.


I am fairly good in using Linux but have no idea about openMPI.
I know C and C++ pretty well. And planning to learn using MPI.


Regards

Venu Gopal
