thanks for your fast answer! where is this issue described in detail?
just because i could neither find the error with google nor with the
lam/mpi website search. is the problem concerning suse 11? then i will
simply change to suse 10 or an other distribution ... because i am not
really happy of using a beta version of mpi.

thanks
bernhard
