Mpich 1.2.3 first run problem

[Jim Matthews]

It's looking like it's a universal problem...  I am surprised that there 
is no mention of it on the mpich web page.  LAM can work for some of our 
users but as far as I know LAM does not support the spawning of multiple 
jobs by the same user from a single machine.  Our clusters have front 
end systems which support job runs on several subclusters and it is 
quite common for users to want to start up more than one job on multiple 
subclusters.  I guess I will try submitting a bug report to the mpich 
people and see what happens...

Thanks,


--JIM
