on a single machine it's easiest just to run

and then lamnodes reports something like what you have already seen:

which is fine. then run your app with
  mpirun h -c 2 programName
and you'll get 2 'threads' running - one for each cpu.

worry about hostfiles and numbers of cpus if you have >1 computer.

you might also like to check that you're not using the usysv rpi for
comms as the G5 OSX is so optimised it's broken in this case. See the
LAM list archives for details.
