Hello all,

I used (successfully) for some time the lam suite
version 7.1.1 on an 4-way SMP 64bit linux box.

All of a sudden, mpirun, even on very simple codes,
stopped running on more than one processor, with
the following error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The selected RPI failed to initialize during MPI_INIT. This is a
fatal error; I must abort.

This occurred on host node-01 (n0).
The PID of failed process was 27008 (MPI_COMM_WORLD rank: 0)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Going through past posts, there were hints that it was a problem
related with the rpi used by default, and indeed this problem disappears
when I used the tcp rpi, and only appears with the sysv or usysv rpi's...

Any idea ?

Thanks for your help,

Simon
