Send any problem that you can not solve by checking this section to [email protected].

Please include:

* The version of mpich (e.g., 1.2.5)

* The output of running your program with the -mpiversion argument (e.g., mpirun -np 1 a.out -mpiversion)

* The output of 
        uname -a
for your system. If you are on an SGI system, also 
        hinv

* The files config.log and src/fortran/config.log.

* If the problem is with a script such as configure or mpirun, run the script with the -echo argument (e.g., mpirun -echo -np 4 a.out ).


If you have more than one problem, please send them in separate messages; this simplifies our handling of problem reports.

The rest of this section contains some information on trouble-shooting mpich. Some of these describe problems that are peculiar to some environments and give suggested work-arounds. Each section is organized in question and answer format, with questions that relate to more than one environment (workstation, operating system, etc.) first, followed by questions that are specific to a particular environment. Problems with workstation clusters are collected together as well. To make it easier to find solutions, the most common problems are described first.
