It compiled w/o problems and also the test program in examples/basic named cpi compiled fine. mpirun -np 1 cpi works, but when I try to get two processes I get: mpirun -np 2 -v cpi running /home/thimm/mpich/examples/basic/cpi on 2 386BSD ch_p4 processors Created /usr/home/thimm/mpich/examples/basic/PI523 rm_652: p4_error: rm_start: net_conn_to_listener failed: 1035 I changed the contents of machines.freebsd to reflect 5 times localhost (otherwise something about No route to my hostname appeared). I also created a file cpi.pg containing one line only: "local 5", but that didn't work either. Does the problem have to do something about not beeing online? (Maybe there are no sockets available??? I dialed into the Internet via SLIP, shouldn't this mean TCP/IP is activated?). I am no expert, but when I try "telnet localhost" it works, so TCP/IP should work, shouldn't it? Any help is greatly appreciated, Axel Thimm.
