Package: lam4-dev Version: 7.1.1-3.2 Severity: important I've tried the following trivial program:
#include <mpi.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { MPI_Init (&argc, &argv); MPI_Finalize (); } Compile it: riff /tmp> mpic++.lam lamtest.cc -o lamtest /usr/lib/lam/include/mpi2cxx/functions_inln.h: In function 'void PMPI::Pcontrol(int, ...)': /usr/lib/lam/include/mpi2cxx/functions_inln.h:249: warning: cannot pass objects of non-POD type 'struct va_list' through '...'; call will abort at runtime Ok, pretty weird error but IIRC it emitted it in older LAM-versions as well. Running without a lamd fails normally: riff /tmp> ./lamtest ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems that there is no lamd running on the host riff. This indicates that the LAM/MPI runtime environment is not operating. The LAM/MPI runtime environment is necessary for MPI programs to run (the MPI program tired to invoke the "MPI_Init" function). Please run the "lamboot" command the start the LAM/MPI runtime environment. See the LAM/MPI documentation for how to invoke "lamboot" across multiple machines. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exit 215 So let's do it correctly: riff /tmp> lamboot LAM 7.1.1/MPI 2 C++/ROMIO - Indiana University riff /tmp> ./lam [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ lamtest* riff /tmp> ./lamtest [hangs] Calling "lamnodes" in another shell hangs too, it doesn't if the test program wasn't started. I've attached a full strace of lamtest. If I read it correctly the program opens a socket chdir("/tmp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]") = 0 socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="lam-kernel-socket"}, 19) = 0 chdir("/tmp") communicates for quite a while until writev(3, [{"[EMAIL PROTECTED]@\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 72}, {ptrace: umoven: Input/output error and then filehandle 3 seems broken.
