I tried to compile mpich2 from sources and the problem seems to be related to checkpointing (blcr package).
blcr does not seem to work properly with kernel 3.x+ since kernel module does not compile https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blcr/+bug/804943 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reading package lists...

Isnt it possible to "not" enable checkpointing? If I compile mpich2 without ' --enable-checkpointing --with-hydra- ckpointlib=blcr 'configure options, then everything works fine. Also, as a side note, can you upgrade mpich2 to 1.4.1p1? (Fedora seem to have 1.4.1p1 since FC15!) http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/index.php?s=downloads -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045326 Title: using valgrind with mpirun causes problems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpich2/+bug/1045326/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
