I'm rather a win32 user of MPI, so i may be missing some issues. In your command line, you are rather linking with the lan-mpi library, so it is normal that the mpi version that gets linked is the lan-mpi version. There should be another mpi library, rather in the mpich2 install directory. Hope this helps.

Here we go! Well.. I'm still having some troubles with OcamlMPI. Mr. Andres Varon, I just tried to compile test.ml file (i.e.: regression test), which is available on the latest release provided by Mr. Xavier Leroy, by doing what you suggested me to do. Unfortunately, it still didn't work. Thanks anyway, mate! So, after some time working on that issue, I've eventually got it compiled by doing the following: [rodiney@homer ocamlmpi-1.01]$ ocamlc -o testmpi mpi.cma unix.cma test.ml -ccopt -L/usr/lib/lam -ccopt -L/usr/lib/ocaml/ocamlmpi -ccopt -llam -ccopt -lutil Here is the output: [rodiney@homer ocamlmpi-1.01]$ ocamlc -o testmpi mpi.cma unix.cma test.ml -ccopt -L/usr/lib/lam -ccopt -L/usr/lib/ocaml/ocamlmpi -ccopt -llam -ccopt -lutil File "test.ml", line 144, characters 6-9: Warning Y: unused variable res. [rodiney@homer ocamlmpi-1.01]$ As you all can see, there is only a warning message. I mean.. no big deal. So, that command line works pretty good. The problem occurs when I try to execute 'testmpi' file. I'm getting the following message when doing this: rodiney@homer ocamlmpi-1.01]$ mpirun -np 1 ./testmpi --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems that there is no lamd running on the host homer. 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The same message appears by doing 'mpiexec -n 1 ./testmpi' as well. I would like to remember you, guys, that I'm using MPICH2 implementation of MPI (mpich2-1.0.6). So, although MPICH2 is already installed and configured properly, the message displayed above is just asking to start 'lamboot'. However, 'lamboot' is a tool provided by LAM/MPI: yet another an MPI implementation. Why it is asking me for 'lamboot' if I'm using the 'mpd' daemon (i.e.: the process manager) from MPICH2?? Hmm. OK.. I've just started 'lamboot' and I did 'mpiexec -n 1 ./testmp' (or 'mpirun -np 1 ./testmpi') once more. Below is the output: [rodiney@homer ocamlmpi-1.01]$ mpiexec -n 1 ./testmpi MPI process rank 0 (n0, p3915) caught a SIGSEGV in MPI_Errhandler_free. Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD): Call stack within LAM: Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD): - MPI_Errhandler_free() Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD): - MPI_Errhandler_set() Rank (0, MPI_COMM_WORLD): - main() So, that's the point. What should I do to solve this problem and get 'testmpi' working?? Please, help me!!! I'm almost loosing my mind!! LOL I'm looking forward for any help!!!
