Wonderful! That fixed the problem.
There was a warning about mixing versions. I had done a lamboot under
the old version. It was easy to shut it down and restart.
But---do I need to rebuild everything that uses lam? In particular, R
uses MPI via a dynamically loaded library. Does that library need to be
rebuilt, and if so will other users on the old lam find it doesn't work
for them?
Thanks.
