Hi Ted

From what I can tell, you are not using Open MPI, but mpich's mpirun. You might want to ask for help on their mailing list.

Thanx for the reply.

I guess I should go back a step: I had used the openmpi version on my system which is simply:
"mpirun -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE -np $NPROCS ${CODE} >/ul/tedhyu/fuelcell/HOH/test/HH.out"

This did not work because I was just getting a blank output.

I tried this older version because at least i was getting an output.
"/opt/mpich-1.2.5.10-ch_p4-gcc/bin/mpirun -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE -np
$NPROCS ${CODE} >/ul/tedhyu/fuelcell/HOH/test/HH.out"
I think this older version is failing me for whatever reason. Do you have any clue? I read somewhere that new versions of mpirun adds extra commandline arguments to the end of the line. Therefore the newer version of mpirun may be not be giving an output because it sees all extra commandline arguments after my output file >/ul/tedhyu/fuelcell/HOH/test/HH.out

This is where I'm reading that there are extra commandline arguments for a version of mpirun:

Again, I'm new at this, and I'm just guessing. Any ideas of where to turn would be helpful!

 For some reason, the
program and the global communicator are not in sync and it reads that there is
only one processors, whereas, there should be 2 or more.  Any advice on where to
look?  Here is my PBS script.  Thanx!

Please note, that you are mixing Open MPI (API/Library) with MPICH 
(mpirun). This is a mistake I like to make, too. If you use
the ompi mpiexec program, it probably works.
