Hi Koun,
 
first, you might want to use OpenMPI instead of Lam.
 
Are you installing from tar files are an RPM?  From the
tar I believe you can use something like prefix=/NFS_disk/lam-7.x.x

Subject: LAM: configure LAM

Dear all:

I have problems with installing LAM.

First of all, let me know how to remove LAM/MPI.  I tried to install 
many times in different ways (different path), so many files were 
scattered over the system.  I want to make clean install.  Usually, I 
used the default path /usr/local.  But, there are already other files 
irrelevant with LAM/MPI.

The second question is concerning with strategy of system configuration.
With the default path, I succeeded to install and it works well as 
far as I access it within the local node. Next issue is to extend 
this system over all the other nodes, which are connected by NFS. Of 
course, I understand importance of bypassing mechanism for passwords; 
I use RSA authentication. Our system is configured such a way that 
only user directories are mounted by NFS. The default path /usr/local 
is not mounted in NFS. Hence, I think this is reason, it does not 
make response.
So, my question is whether I should install LAM/MPI in the user 
directory which can be access from all the users. If this is not the 
case, should I configure the system from beginning in a way that the 
directory /usr/local is mounted by NFS?

Thanks advance,
